A pistol-packing teen (Chloë Grace Moretz) meets an unstable rebel (Eddie Redmayne) and a cocaine-snorting drifter (Blake Lively) as she hitchhikes her way out West.

Critics Consensus

Hick's talented young star is ill served by a film whose story wavers between discomfitingly inappropriate and simply muddled.

Hick is worth the effort -- and it does have some genuinely witty writing.

And so it came to Chlo Grace Moretz, as it must to all child actors: puberty.

Ambles back and forth between tomfoolery and strained seriousness.

1/5

Derek Martini's second feature - after the competent Lymelife - is a confused mess of awkward tonal shifts and boring narrative tangents all encased in the discomforting shell of a Lolita fantasy.

1.5/4

Recognizes that kids can't expect the grass to be greener but comes too close to suggesting that you can expect others to mow your lawn.

I thought it was a really interesting film. There were moments when I questioned humanity and where the plot was but besides that it was pretty entertaining

Small town teenager Luli (Chloe Grace Moretz) escapes to Las Vegas, leaving behind her alcoholic and abusive parents. Armed with her smarts, a pistol and pocket money, she hitchhikes her way west. Along the way, Luli crosses paths with Eddie (Eddie Redmayne), an unstable rebel with questionable motives and Glenda (Blake Lively), a cocaine-snorting drifter on the run. Adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by Andrea Portes, this powerful story pulls you into a provocative world of drugs, seduction and murder. -- Great film 4 out of 5 stars Luli (Chloe Grace Moretz) . Does an excellent performance . Under Rated Film .

This story defiys logic. Its silly in some ways. Not one person cares about this teenager. The movie goes from being pretty good to stupid thought out.
