I'm not quite sure what to say about this restrained little picture but I know I want to say something.
It commands a subtle power from the very beginning; that something sinister is lurking beneath the surface but I have literally no clue what.
At its core it's really a character piece. For me, Foster has always been one of those people that gets admired by other people. But there is something at once perturbing and yet irresistible about this pubescent adult interacting with people around her. Some are threats, some are well-intentionally condescending and I like to think that on some level we basically have a love story that one can actually take seriously.
With a certain mystery to hold it together, the way the plot goes might not be what anyone would call masterful story telling and the whole thing feels a lot more like memoirs and disjointed episodes than a solid narrative.
But there's so much personality in this quite singular experience and it's a rare and refreshing advocation for the emancipation of children.
There's also a pair of jeans that look pretty good on the floor.
