Though wealthy, sultry teenager Mini (Nikki Reed) lives with the neglect of a mother (Carrie-Anne Moss) who drinks too much and cares too little, Mini tries to fill her empty life by always seeking "firsts." Her latest achievement is a torrid affair with her stepfather, Martin (Alec Baldwin), which escalates out of control and leaves her mother dead. Mini and Martin think they have gotten away with murder, but a nosy neighbor and a detective (Luke Wilson) may expose their plot.

Critics Consensus

This black comedy wavers between sleaze and satire, without ever fully committing to either.

1.5/5

Mini's First Time is delectably vulgar for 20 minutes or so, almost too bad to be true, but it soon loses its cheap-thrills appeal.

3/4

Surrounded by all these pros, Reed more than holds her own: She has so much integrity about being amoral that she keeps the audience dangling between disgust and admiration.

3/4

Mini has a cleverly devious wrap-around ending, but you have been warned: It's twisted.

2/4

It doesn't help that first-time screenwriter/director Nick Guthe created such a superficial group of characters. Few, if any, seem believable or are interesting enough to care about.

2/4

The characters in Mini are played by fine performers (Alec Baldwin, Jeff Goldblum, Carrie-Anne Moss), but they're still one-note.

Much of the film reeks of decadence and new money-the snazzy cars and clothes and the boxy, minimalist modern stone and glass interiors that are as cold as the characters themselves.
