Hick

To make up for the greatness of my lateness on posting a review this week (sorry my internet went down) I am writing a bonus review for you all.
So this week’s second film to be reviewed is slightly out of date but still a brilliant teen film. Released in 2011 and based on a book, Hick is the story of feisty country girl Luli packing her bag with a notebook, clothes and a gun and heading off for Vegas. Despite the almost all round terrible reviews after its release, watching I really felt like it was something special and maybe not a relatable lead character for many adults. Luli is so far removed from her family and has no friends that we see within the film and that is something most NORMAL teens have felt at one time or another, so packing up and heading off is very understandable to me.
When watching the story unfold I was pleased to see that so many actors within it had come into the public eye in the past two years such as Chloe Grace Moretz, who as I earlier mentioned was in Kick-ass or Eddie Redmayne who was in Les Miserables and the stunning Blake Lively who was the 'O' in the drug-related film savages in 2013.
Hick created a beautiful mix of excitement, fear and sadness watching these three young character fall apart and hurt one another, from the starting moment when Luli steps in Eddie's cars to bleak moment on his bed, it's almost as if all along you've known it was coming but hoped to God there was some saving grace. I would happily argue any day that this film was wonderful and such a film lesson for Teen's who feel distanced from the world they are in, so give it a watch and see if you relate.
