A little-known British coming of age drama about a teenage girl deeply in love with her brother; it also disturbingly weaves in the story of a serial killer. It was controversial at time of release for its depiction of teenage girls having traditionally 'adult' thoughts of sex. That part will seem less shocking to most modern viewers, but there's a much darker and less conspicuous narrative simmering beneath it that's decidedly more unsettling.
The world feels alive, but some of the secondary characters feel underdeveloped. In retrospect, when you consider that the tone reflects a youth's mind, then the tapered focus makes a kind of sense.
