What I found?
Mix "Donnie Darko" and "American Beauty" the directorial debut of screenwriter Michael Goldbach ("Childstar") is an independent drama very well filmed, with a good soundtrack, sharp and sarcastic dialogue, a beautiful / talented Kat Dennings in the lead role (playing a mature and cynical teenager , similar to the character of Ellen Page in "Juno"), has a convoluted and uneven story that opens too many topics (a love triangle, teenage drug addicts, an overprotective mother, a professor of balance, a serial murderer) and can not find a good seal .
is good?
