17-year-old Lisa feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in causing a traffic accident that claimed a woman's life. In her attempts to set things right, she meets with opposition at every step. Torn apart with frustration, she begins emotionally brutalizing her family, her friends, her teachers, and, most of all, herself. She has been confronted quite unexpectedly with a basic truth: that her youthful ideals are on a collision course with the realities and compromises of the adult world.

Makes what seem like random disasters seem excruciatingly inevitable.

Could have been shorter. It’s a slow burn. Had some good moments

Michael Margetis

Uneven but extremely compelling in parts.

Captivating, very character-driven. Phenomenal acting. Watching her come to grips with survivors' guilt brutal.

Molly Claire Dungan

This film is so beautiful yet so sad. The cast is incredible and the story is outstanding.

I watched the theatrical release but am curious to see the extended cut(s).

Been so long. It was an interesting watch.

I wanted to like this more than I did but the acting is insanely distractingly bad

do the right thing! (in the absolute worst way imaginable)

Could be interesting for those who appreciates that coming of age psychologic angle.
