This is a small movie that Kristen Stewart was in before she became famouse because of the Twilight saga.
Her debut film Panic Room's charactor is closer to the image with the roll which she is in this film.
She is a bit boyish but shy, not fully grown up girl who had a bad memory- sexually raped by the boy at the summer party before going to the highschool.She tries to call the police from the party, but that just leads to the cops showing up and breaking up the party and getting a lot of Kristen's friends in trouble. She was shy enough to tell the event to her parents not only because she was shy but also because of the gap between her and her parents.
She decides not to talk in school and that makes her alienated her from other students.
She played the roll of a girl who is fragile and even a small touch can shatter her totally.
She was lucky enough to find this rusty room from the school and she makes herself compfortabe there. And also she made friends with the art teacher, and a girl who is now dating with the guy who raped her. She slowly recovers herself and finally gathers herself.
Finally she made a courage to tells the secret story that what happened that night to her mother after the recovery.
The story is not a great one or something imaginative. It's the manner and the way how it flows. The acting and the tone of the film that makes this movie a decent one.
The director does not have a lot of experience making movies but she did a fine job making this one as if she have made hundreds before.
Then again, it has nothing to do with the resume, it's how the director have in mind and how much confident about how she/he will make the movie.
I know that Kristen has a lot of personal issues but in terms of acting, she was truethful. She was never tried to show herself to be great or someone cool. She just acts as if she is herself which makes her acting career keep going.
This movie was her first leading roll and she was not different with her other famous movies like Twilight saga.
