This film was about a young girl growing up in a very broken home in Brooklyn during the 80's. The film was horrific, tragic, beautiful and moving. It was a real testament to both the best and worst of humanity. The acting in this film was second to none.  It kills me that The Blind Side took home a single award over this film.

Sometimes the Oscars get it right. Mo'Nique was outstanding in this, her monologue at the end is epic. It's not so much a coming of age film as a coming of life film. If that makes sense. There are over the top melodramatic moments, but all in all it's a very, very good movie.

Stunning performances but emotionally inconsistent.

This is kind of a rough movie to watch. A very victimized and bullied teen tries to get through life. It ends on a fairly positive note but damn. Incest babies is just a weird, skin crawling topic for me so that is always going to be rough to go through.
