CGiii Comment

A story that, at first, appears to be too familiar.

It then explodes into what can only be described as a twisted revelation.

Kimberly Reed is the epitome of selfishness, it's all about me me me me me me me me me.

And, it certainly does grate after a short time.

It's not all about her - her adopted brother's biological mother is revealed to be a somewhat noteworthy person and Reed manages to twist this into me me me me me me me.

She comes over as a jealous, self-centred, selfish piranha - kudos to her for not even trying to disguise the fact.

She is sanctimonious and snide in her outlook - particularly when dealing with her older, adopted brother who has inadvertently stolen her thunder.

It is a cruel film with an incredible amount of savagery - Reed has made a very truthful film that paints her black.

It is difficult to watch at times - and, she must be squealing like a runt who finds a good home...with all the attention she has received...success?!?

She likes to remind her audience that she is more f&*ked-up than her adopted brother who only has half a brain (literally).

What a genuinely horrible person - thank you for revealing yourself. But, please make no more films - this cannot be bettered.
