"He probably won't kill me. It ain't happened yet. But, it's like when people tell you that their dog doesn't bite. How do they know?"
An upsetting drama about three underage sisters who grow up with a drug-addicted mother, who turned the family home into a scum-den, a gambling and whoring house. Jennifer Lawrence plays the eldest sister, who tries to replace the mother to the younger ones and spare them the hell in which they live as much as possible, while she herself becomes a victim of rape and self-deception. There is also ten-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz in the role of one of the younger sisters, who is already announcing her acting capacities. The movie is based on the life of actress Lori Petty, who wrote the script and directed. The story is well written and the film is quite solidly shot, but what sets it apart and makes it especially impressive is the really convincing acting and strong emotion it conveys.9/10
