Reviews from film clubs
Vermilion45 (The 5 Dollar Bin), 7.5/10: Mad little independent feeling film. Charlize Theron gives a highly deranged performance ranging from completely psychotic to a character I could imagine being on MadTV. Meanwhile Christina Ricci alternates between cute, a lost teen, a brat, and a lost brat.
