    Kind of strange movie, with a lot of dull charakters, but Kristen Stewart is just great in it, she "carries it out of the darkness into the light" ;)

    The story is certainly predictable, but it contains just enough conflict and drama to engage the viewer.

    A vibrant, unpretentious small-town tale.
