Â
Indie comic book adaptation about two non-conformist
teenage girls which seemed to be adored by critics but flew under the radar of mainstream audiences.
Thora Birch is great in this, however, her career
seemed to fade into obscurity soon after while Scarlett Johansson became a global superstar. Steve Buscemi is the true star of the show as a delightful oddball, providing the majority of
the film's best moments.
