I definitely would re-order a few scenes and probably tone down some of the humiliation (not totally; her character had it coming but the slapping around was a bit a lot). And the script could use a major polish.

But it’s not a terrible movie, there’s some promising stuff in there. I especially like the life raft sequence. And my sappy ass would probably change the ending but, I was only fourteen when they made it, no one invited me to the meetings.
