The movie is a story about a young girl coming of age around 1900 in the South. It plays the tale straight, without winking to the audience. A wonderful independent film without any apologies. The characters are well developed. The cast is quite good and engaging. The dialogue is well written and delivers some important lessons about life. The leading young actress has a terrific screen presence. She shows a great deal of potential for future endeavors. The film is beautifully photographed and very polished. A live action feature which is a great alternative to the usual animation product the film studios create for children. Parents will be entertained as well.
