Awkward teen Vincent (Vincent Kartheiser) is obsessed with popular student Roseanne Skolnick (Monica Keena). He's a loner who is constantly photographing everybody. Her family is secretly dysfunctional. Her stepdad Fred (Michael Ironside) is a drunk and her mom Maggie (Ellen Barkin) is having a fling with bartender Chris (Jeffrey Wright).
This is a Sundance indie. I like some of the darker elements but the attempts at cool lighter feel does disrupt. I would make Vincent a much bigger participant in the story. I would think the football jock boyfriend should abandon Roseanne which would force her to seek help from Vincent. That would fit better and feel better. The court trial is not that compelling. Quite frankly, the great adult actors are under-used. I love many of these actors. This could have been better.
