White Girl

I just could not connect with this film. There is no message, no "learning curve" or "lesson learned" or saving grace and I don't like that. It was brutal, and confronting and and the downward spiral of the female lead was sickening and pointless. I get that this is while happens in real life, and this perhaps is where the film was lost on me... I'm a privileged white girl who now at 35 years of age has managed to keep my nose completely clean because I made good choices. I get that this is the downward spiral of so many, who either get caught up or deliberately put themselves in those situations. I found it really really hard to watch and considered turning it off halfway through but pushed through, I feel like I've wasted 2 hours and got no enjoyment whatsoever out of it - and the film hasn't really made a point or has a purpose for me. This review will probably upset a few people and going of majority of the reviews, I have a completely different opinion on the film to many others...
