Review of Towelhead (2008) by Kyle C — 13 Jan 2009
Disclaimer: This is an extremely rough movie, and unless you are prepared to handle a film of such intensity, don't watch it.
This is an absolutely gripping film, disturbing, engrossing, jaw droipping and intriguing... Bishil's performance is intense and engaging, her charcterizatiuon of innocence-lost is breathtaking. This film accurately handles its subject matter, without overdoing itself, it moves well around an ugly scope... The thing is, innocence is lost, and this film captures one girls travails through racism, rape, sex, exploitation, and any and all of the above with a grueling and razor-sharp ferocity.... if you are not unsettled, or disarmed, you missed it.... not hard to grasp, but incredibly hard-hitting nonetheless.
