5.0

Absolutely loved it. I was a fan of the movie, and I really appreciated getting to see Cameron’s inner life and how she experiences everything. Her sardonic attitude to most of the adults in her life is the perfect compliment to the bullshit she encounters at God’s Promise.
I won’t be specific, but I think the ending (which differed from the film) was gorgeous, and has stuck with me (I imagine it probably will for years).
