Après avoir vu Evie et ses copines se "servir" froidement dans une boutique de mode, Tracy vole un sac à main richement garni. L'argent dérobé lui sert de viatique : il n'en faut pas plus que cela pour intégrer la bande, et après quelques plans fringues, Tracy devient la nouvelle protégée d'Evie. Avec les encouragements de son inséparable "mentor", relookée, tatouée, la langue et le nombril percés, Tracy découvre très vite les clés de la popularité et l'art de plaire aux garçons. Constatant chez Tracy les signes de plus en plus nombreux d'une dérive accélérée, Melanie finit pourtant par s'inquiéter et décide vaille que vaille de reprendre sa fille en main. Trop tard peut-être...

This movie is special to me, and it probably always will be. It’s one of the first times I remember feeling “seen” in media as a young person that was starting to struggle with mental illness. It’s not a perfect movie, and I think some of the scenes shouldn’t have really been graphically shown like they were bearing in mind that this is a movie directed at teenagers. However, that is a reality for some people, and I do understand the inclusion. Overall though, this movie does a great job at depicting what it’s like to develop a mental illness and troubled family dynamics and how a mental illness can develop in a situation like that. Evan Rachel Wood gives such a fantastic performance as Tracy at such a young age. I first saw this movie when I was about twelve or thirteen, and although it doesn’t hold quite the same amount of relatability for me that it did then, it still holds up for me close to ten years later. I’m glad it exists and depicts a painful reality, but being able to find something to relate to in that painful reality and that makes you feel “seen” can be something that’s helpful.
