rooprect After seeing Agnes Bruckner's memorable performance in "Rick" (a modern re-imagining of the opera "Rigoletto"), I had to see what else she has starred in. Even better was her performance in this film "Blue Car", a coming-of-age film that boldly crosses boundaries that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't dare touch.I'm not just talking about the scandalous older guy & young girl theme which has been done before ("American Beauty", "Lolita", and almost every Woody Allen movie ever made), but in particular I'm referring to disturbing issues teenagers and kids face today: self-harm, self-mutilation and suicidal thoughts. Don't worry, there's nothing explicit. But the fact that these issues are even presented sets this movie on a different level.Other rare & unheard-of films that touch on these modern teen problems are "Archie's Final Project" (about a high school kid who decides to videotape his last days before killing himself), "Angela" (about 2 young sisters who create a fantasy world of angels & demons to cope with their real life traumas), and the very dark & very creepy "Tideland" about a young girl who creates a nightmarish world around her to try to protect her corroding innocence.. "Blue Car" fits right in there, probably the tamest of the bunch but not without its own hard-hitting moments. I think it would be appreciated by most mid-to-late teenagers whose minds are asking deep questions about life. I'm way past that age, but I still found it compelling and impressive all around. An excellent starring debut by Agnes Bruckner as well as directorial debut from Karen Moncrieff.

Amelia_Jade_Black I first heard about it from my Aunt Janice Sterling, towards the end of the summer, she said that her son Dustin was in it, though I never heard of it. She found a copy of the DVD and sent it to me to watch. I must say it is tame compared to a lot of other "R" movies, I liked it so I definitely recommend you buy it if you haven't already.The acting in it was really superb, though the Scene where Lilly was cutting holes in herself was a bit disturbing to me. And the Theft scenes were a bit repetitive. I loved the reconciliation scene that she had with her mom towards the end. All in all it is worth the money to buy it.

Mart10 My opinion about this film is really good. Maybe because I was expecting for an ordinary drama movie...anyway I recommend it.Firstly, remark the good job in the pace of events over a proper script. Also, the performance of the unknown actors is good enough.It seems to be a sad history about how a broken family can hurt the feelings of two daughters. But there is some beautiful moments on those you can see how human beings support each other, so finally you get that also in bad depressing moments or in a hard life,you always can get experiences and assist or got assisted by others. That make the life worth to live and so..the film worth to watch.

Travis_Bickle01 Small but recommendable film about a young girl, growing up in an unstable environment with a lack of people who care for her and various people abusing her. Agnes Bruckner gives an excellent performance as Meg. The story isn't something refreshing and new, but it doesn't disturbs me. The subject is handled very well and the co-actors are good as well, although Bruckner's performance is by far the best. I also saw her in "Home Room" but her role in that movie is very small.Excellent directing debut by Karen Moncrieff. She managed to make it a remarkable debut. "Blue Car" is an enjoyable film who's certainly worth watching.7.5/10
