I find it hard to believe that anyone could watch this movie and not be moved by this powerful story. The heartbreaking part of it being that it's based off true events. Brandon was clearly suffering from some identity issues and she had run into some close calls before hooking up with this group of *friends*. Hilary Swank definitely earned her Oscar with this production. Great movie.
I watched this movie quite awhile ago on cable, and literally found it to be one of the saddest movies I've ever watched. It made me want to cry. It shows how cruel and closed minded people can be in this world, and through all this, there is definitely not a happy ending. I would say that this is a good movie, but I wouldn't like to watch it again.
