The movie made me feel really uncomfortable and I know that was one of the movie's purposes. The theme can make people angry. It's about a teenager that falls in love with the wrong man. She feels like everyone disappointed her and he, the man who is 35 years old, is the only one who can make her happy. That man can do any damage and she will still he there for him because he knows and knew what to say In the right moment. This move is not inspired from a real story, but it feels like that because real life is like that sometimes. Tom is a loverboy and Lea is a beautiful and still learning about life teenager. The end is heartbreaking. All I could hear in my head was: "call the police", "tell your mom or your friend" and this never happened. I think a lot of people were disappointed with the end because we like happy endings and this is an open one who gives us a clue about what's gonna happen. And that clue is... so unwanted.

That is right. A slap or two in the face deserves this 17 year old girl. I mean, it is obvious that she is at her young age already unhappy and unsatisfied with her miserable life. Her mother who doesn't even care, and her friends that are everything but not her true friends. The point is, that is life, you just started to live your life, life of a teenager. Lots of loves and friends goes through that age till I don't know 30's? What I am trying to say is that I am pissed of with this movie. The plot is good, has its point and a very important message, but the end of the movie is such a b*****it. How miserable your life must be that you choose to hang out with a man twice older than you and above that he uses you for his purposes in the most disgusting way and you miss him? Not to comment any other choices that she made throughout every moment hanging out with him. I would give it a 4, but there is a 5 because the movie has a message, but very stupid end because in these days girls in this situations look for help or they take their own life, unfortunately. Waste of my time I would say...

At seventeen you have a mother who's distracted, a boyfriend to whom you're clearly not attracted, it's the summer time is free, and so it's with some joy and glee, that you let an older man, have you extracted; as he takes you out and you start to get close, he treats you well, and doesn't hide in the shadows, although alarm bells should be ringing, a waitress knows what he is bringing, there's lots of cons and only one important pros; but you let him take advantage and engage, you're streetwise, have a quite mature gauge (or so you believe), he wants to introduce a friend, has something you can help distend, you could profit, and make him a living wage. Great performance from Lily McInerny.

How sad (and boring) must be the life of a teenager to get involved in a sick relationship with an older man? Moreover, it is not easy to understand why she is attracted by someone who does not show special qualities. Worse of all, at the end she's capable of missing him... The binary choice (either boredom or abuse) is too simplistic. One must hope that there are multiple paths to reach happiness or, at least, serenity. Acting is regular (not too difficult either), casting is not ideal, cinematography is flat, script is not brilliant, dialogues are void. However, I was not surprised to know the success it had in Sundance, it has many ingredients for that.

This was THE most boring movie. I do not understand how it has such high reviews. The girl has ZERO personality. The story is slow and somehow makes what should be eventful NOT eventful. Let me save you the misery and sum it up for you. Girl is pissed at the world and lonely. Meets older man who seems to really care about her. He wants to take her away for a few days. He pimps her out ... she runs away from him. He never looks for her. Little while later she tries calling his phone is disconnected. She tracks him down and asks why he never looked for her and tells him she misses him too. It ends. Sounds like it should be really good right? Trust me it's not.

This film is extremely well done and should be required watching for all teens. It follows Lea who is groomed by the much older Tom who not only wants her as his love, but for other sinister reasons too. The pace is slow, but that's exactly how grooming can work. The content during the pacing is formidable as it graphically shows how way it is for an older man to seduce a young girl who does not know the way of the world and has a mother who cares less than she should. Tom is played fabulously by Jonathan Tucker. He totally nails the role of seducer and abuser and you can tell from the start that he is very practiced in this. Lea is played brilliantly by the unknown to me Lily McInerny and she gives an excellent performance as the jaded yet innocent Lea. She perfectly captures the nuances of emotions as she goes through this journey of what she believes to be love, realises is abuse, and then settles for acceptance. It's an important film for us all to be mindful of this kind of behaviour. If only the waitress has phoned the police, if only the woman at the motel had said no, if only Lea's friends had been nicer, if only her mother was more caring... This film is all about If Only's.
