The acting is very good by all cast members. The relationship between the friends is interesting and adds some depth to the film. It's a slow burner that doesn't have a big crescendo like most Hollywood style movies. I think the movie would have been more appealing to a wider audience if there had shown more of the abuse from the boyfriend as it was only hinted at never fully addressed so those not been in that situation or have any dealing with phscology would struggle to understand the what the film was trying to do.
Although I enjoyed the sentiment of the movie and feel the point made was and important one to make as a movie on a whole I found the script lacking in a few places and struggled to keep my focus. All in all it was an OK movie but had the potential to be better.
