The film starts with a well framed shot of the girl singing and dancing to a Brittany Spears song before going straight into a montage of her talking, hanging out with her Dad, on a bus with her friends etc. As it goes this is entertaining enough and quite interesting.

Overall this is not an easy film to think about and does have a scene that many people will find upsetting (if only temporarily).
