Watched this film totally without any idea what it was about other than the brief pre-amble and was rewarded with quite a thought-provoking movie. Not a lot happens in truth but the acting was very realistic so it worked for me. As others have mentioned, it was an uncomfortable watch at times and I can fully understand that what happened in the film sadly happens in the real world.
Although not a 'happy' ending it WAS an ending of sorts and probably a very plausible one at that. It seemed to me that a confused and essentially neglected seventeen year-old girl made a decision between two pretty grim pathways (as she saw it) and chose the one most of us hoped she wouldn't. I was disappointed in her decision making but equally could understand her logic as to why she made them.
