Quotes
Sally Sikes: I thought you wasn't hungry.
Zeke Sikes: [devouring a banana] Oh, I'm starving.
Sally Sikes: Then why didn't you eat Mommy's breakfast?
Zeke Sikes: Because if I ate your mommy's breakfast, I'd end up a fat fucking bastard like everybody else in this town. Let's just pretend Uncle Zeke didn't say that, okay?
Sally Sikes: Okay.
Reed Ethington: [walking up to the squad car] Hey, Sally.
Zeke Sikes: Do you mind if we drop her off at school on the way to work?
Reed Ethington: No, not at all.
Sally Sikes: Get in the back, you fat fuckin' bastard!
Reed Ethington: Excuse me?
[chuckles]
Reed Ethington: That's real nice. That's real nice. You're a nice little girl.

Better than its rating for sure!

It's smart, funny, dark and succinct. Makes you use your brain a bit as you rethink the previous scenes with each newfound bit of information. I was pleasantly entertained and actually laughed out loud several times. A hidden gem of a movie that deserves much better than the 6.2 rating it currently has. I'm starting to lose faith in the IMDb rating system.
