Trivia
Kelly Depeault was 17-years-old at the time of filming this movie, where she has some nude and explicit sex scenes. While director Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette admits that the shooting went smoothly, she also admits to having worked a lot with the actors during the sex scenes, the most delicate to stage, according to her. "That said, we really took care of it," she says. "So in the end, it wasn't the scenes that were difficult. Dizzying and vulnerable, yes, but we had choreographed everything, down to the gesture. Nothing had been left to chance. We had a lot of hours of rehearsals for each of these scenes."

Didn't last 15 minutes...

The parents fight during their girl's anniversary, the father scraps the mother's car, the girl gets bullied at school, then start smoking cigarettes and weed, then takes cocaine, and has unprotected sex. That's the first 20 minutes. I don't know what the rest looks like, I felt there was no point.

The car crash was unnecessary, making it look like a cheap (typical?) American movie (what's with destroying cars in movies? You get money from jeep for crashing cars? Seriously...)

It has some very good actors, but the acting is so bad, the issue must be with the director.

If you like to wallow in misery, you will love this...
