This film has an excellent beginning, thrusting you in the middle of a very uncomfortable situation between a thirty two year old man and a fourteen year old girl. The director keeps you squirming without ever crossing over to crassness.
The acting is excellent with both Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page carrying their parts well.
However, the believability bottoms out suddenly as the characters start making stereotypical slasher film decisions (not that this is a slasher film) and the ending feels like it was pieced together on the last day. My guess would be budgeting problems, but I've never seen a film start off so strong and end so weak.
