A great watch with some passionate performances from indie and mainstream actors/actresses.
Kat Dennings is beautiful but also a fantastic actress who can portray a vast array of emotions. She is the next Ellen Page in my eyes.
I liken this to Juno on acid washed down with a bottle of absinthe. Heart-warming and romantic with tragic characters making their way through mixed up lives.
I cannot recommend highly enough if you enjoy films with layers and depth of story.

A teenager's arrival in a small community causes waves in this black comedy from writer/director Mike Goldbach. After the sudden death of her mother, street-smart 17-year-old Caroline Wexler (Kat Dennings) moves to a small town where her father has a new job. Bored with her new classmates and eager for excitement, Caroline decides to seduce one of her teachers, Mr Anderson (Josh Lucas), who, although wary at first, soon finds himself under the teenager's spell. Things start to get complicated, however, when one of her classmates, Thurston (Reece Thompson), also falls for her charms, triggering a love triangle, much to the annoyance of the jealous Mr Anderson.
