Review of Towelhead (2008) by Lloyd R — 21 Mar 2012
I was uncomfortable reading the book and watching the movie. It gets under your skin and stays there. The girl playing 13 year old Jasira does an excellent job of conveying the confusion and hurt that she experiences, from parents, neighbors, classmates.
Aaron Eckhart as the army reservist neighbor who takes advantage of her is easy to loathe. Pretty dark, but worth seeing.
