CGiii Comment
Jessica Chastain delivers a fine performance.
The production values are above par.
The direction is competent.
However, the story is a ridiculous hike through implausibility - the girl, a southern teenage bride, manages to sleep with every millionaire in America after having a lesbian affair with a prison guard who helps her escape...yes, it is utterly ridiculous.
