When Jennifer sees a picture of herself at 13 and the actress in her memories changes... wow. An incredibly well made movie.

I just finished watching this movie and let me say one thing: Go watch it. Sadly, Jennifer Fox's story is universal: Almost every women had to go through something like this, it's fucking heartbreaking. I cried, I wanted to punch a wall, I also had to skip some parts. Girls are sexualized from such a young age and that makes it so easy for predators to make a move, commit a sexual assault and move on without any consequences: IT IS NOT OKAY. With that being said, Laura did such a good job. Astounding, I hope she and Jenny get them Oscars' nominations.

It's a very hard movie to watch, it's really sad but if it helps someone that has been sexual abused and thinks it's to late to say something it's never to late.
