MOVIE REVIEW: Hardcore crime-noir fans will enjoy this film
marks the English-language directorial début of Melanie Laurent, the fantastic French actress probably still best known to international audiences for playing Shoshana in Tarantino’s. I have never seen any of the French films she directed but her first crack at the American and English-speaking market may be far from entirely successful, but it does show a director very much in command of her abilities as a filmmaker.
On the other hand, Elle Fanning once again proves herself to be an exceptional young actress and, though her Raquel “Rocky” Arceneaux plays just a bit too close to the “teenage hooker with a heart of gold” stereotype, she is the obvious heart of the film. She can occasionally be as unpleasant as Cady, but she and her little sister, Tiffany bring some emotional breadth to the film that dilutes the rest of the film’s unbridled harshness and gives audiences something to latch onto.
