Thoughts
I don't know about this film, it was a bit of a slog to get through it. I thought we were going for the out-of-place character in the small town vibe, and then she basically almost died in a frozen lake. So that took a turn. After that it got so slow and drawn out, I honestly couldn't care about the relationship, I just wanted her to be found and to get on with the rest of her life.
On the flip side, the two best friends were incredible - I could have watched them all day. The phone call to the police whilst chatting on about weed was exceptional. Overall best avoided though, this one.
