Absolutely loved this film!


Purchased and watched simply because it had Chloe Moretz in it and she didn't disappoint, as usual. Her character (Cammie), she pulled it off amazingly well I think. A cutie on the cusp of being a hottie. The movie ends with their characters futures in question, evidently they made the decision to "leave it to the viewer's imagination". We chose to think that they stayed there at the Poker House.

I really liked this movie too. In fact I'm haunted by it and have been ever since I saw it years ago. I'm the same age as Lori and grew up only a few hundred miles from where she did. I had a very close friend who grew up in a similar environment - so for me it was extremely real. I also thought that this was the role that Jennifer Lawrence should have won the Oscar for - but knew there was no way the Academy would touch this film with its perpetuation of unpopular 70's stereotypes. I count the movie as one of my faves.
