This film should have relied more on its supernatural elements instead of using cheap melodrama. My main issue with this movie is the plot. The movie wants the young girl to be protagonist so bad yet the material doesn't do her justice. On top of this, the movie doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it a melodrama? Is it a coming of age story? Is it a fantasy film? I don't mind the blending of multiple genres, but I don't care for uneven films. There a multiple time lapses that don't make sense and the story just feels rushed.
