Haunting, hopeless, a beautiful story of life. Some may say it's too black and white, the dialogue is simple, the good people try to be good and the bad people are bad. If you think this way then I feel like you just missed the point of the greater beauty of this piece and the story of life, generation, pain and balance. Anyway ... the girls who get it, get it and I fear the girls who don't may not be able to read critically and thoughtfully.
