Warning: Spoilers
This movie has good things but at the end, its defects are too important. The first thing I dislike is the photography and set design because as a 2010s movie, world has become blue / orange ! I'm fed up with those blue props, blue clothes, yellow skin, yellow light. When my mind focuses on the story, i see an jobless mother which is indeed a change from the usual upper classes but one more time, this kind of family is plagued ! In a way, it's like being jobless and poor in America is the trademark of fragile, unstable people ! The kids stories could have been interesting if the daughter wouldn't have lost her faith at once, which is not really believable ! The use of flashback at the start of the movie is useless as well as the sheriff's wife part ! On the positive side, the cast plays really well : Jennifer as a deranged mother, Harris as a pervert sheriff In conclusion, it's like Hollywood wants to do a tearing drama but as it has never experienced real life, the final release is more a collection of clichés.
