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.
