Honey Bee

Natalie (Julia Sarah Stone) is Honey Bee, a prostitute working at a truck stop. Her boyfriend Ryan Dawes is her pimp who has other girls under his control. Natalie and the others get picked up by the cops. She's underaged and is sent to foster parents, Louise (Martha Plimpton) and Christian (Peter Outerbridge).

Julia Sarah Stone is such a skinny minnie. She looks 14 even though she is about 20. This movie exists somewhere in the middle of a hard indie on sex trafficking and a teen coming-of-age story. It's fine but it doesn't serve it justice to straddle the divide. It is leaning more on the hard indie side but it does pull its punches. At its center, it has JSS and she's a compelling performer.
