 love a good character study of a mentally unwell waif from the 60s, so I enjoyed this one. The story itself was short on plot until the very end, but the reveal was a surprise (at least to me). Dark and very disturbing, this may not be for everyone. 

P.s.  I watched the movie right after reading and found it much less provocative due to its lack of an interior monologue.
