, 80% Audience Score- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsFrequently touching but largely forgettable story about a girl figuring stuff out.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsThe movie is captivating and interesting. It feels authentic. I very much enjoyed how scenes flowed easily from past to present to past and how roles were often reversed or questioned.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsThis was such an engaging movie. I couldn't believe how much smarter even the young Cea was than the useless Mom. I felt so sorry for Cea. It's worth the watch.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsA poetic movie about the life in the wild, and the challenge of growing up. Robert Carlyle nailed his role also this time. Sadly this film is hard to find, I luckily found it on a airplane. Worth watching.
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsFascinating, heartbreaking and beautifully written and acted.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsAn interesting movie, Good acting, strong performance. Somewhat disturbing story. The Ending was a let down, as this movie is based on a true story, the movie closes on the girl taking a flight... The true story, her becoming a fairly successful model despite her upbringing, I dont know why they would not have included the smallest piece of that, to give the story a stronger ending... I do not feel the ending did the film justice. If you watch it, do uour own research to find some happy closure.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsAs a fan of the book, I was eager to watch the movie. The movie missed out on a lot of the book and jumped around way too much. I watched it with someone who hadn't read the book and he had a very difficult time following the very jumpy timeline.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAmazing memoir of Cea Sunshine growing up in a crazy unstable world successfully, I can only hope she will have a part two film to complete the next journey of her story in her 2017 memoir Nearly Normal.
