The film takes a while to find its audience, in the early stages spending too long languishing in the miserable world of Gilly Hopkins and her rage against society. However, when it finds its groove and Kathy Bates joins the film, it starts to gather momentum. There are many messages to be found in the film, about friendship and family and the extended cast all contribute touching or amusing aspects that make it hard to resist engaging with them. Although it's more of a family film and not so much one to be targeted at those under 10 years old, there's enough maintain their interest to the end.
Adult score: 3/5
