Not exactly a movie I would choose, but the wife wanted to see it so we watched it last night.
Granted, I am a 53 yo man - so there wasn't much in the movie for me to identify with since it was the story about the teen tribulations of a budding young woman.
Having said that, the characters in the movie were just odd.
---- SPOILER -----
In the end, the characters in the movie are all f*cked up in one way or another. There is only one character in the entire film that is "normal"...and that is an old nun. Everyone else is a basket case. I don't know what you are supposed to walk away from the film feeling...at the end of the movie the girl has an epiphany after watching a choir sing in a Catholic church...and that made her change her outlook on life.
It is just a weird film. And once again I can't see how it was nominated for an Academy award.
2 1/2 Stars
