"This mini film is a gut-punch from the first frame. The cinematography captures both the warmth of a family that was and the chilling isolation of a girl cast out. Keira's journey from a beloved daughter to a broken survivor is portrayed with raw, visceral emotion. The reform school scenes are hauntingly shot, making you feel every ounce of her pain.
