Lisa lives with her mother, an actress currently starring in a play, and her younger brother. She unintentionally provokes a fatal bus accident by diverting the driver's attention. She gives a false statement to the police so that the driver will not be punished, but later is haunted by doubts over the her lying.
A character study. Teenage angst is the theme, or one theme anyway. A tremendous central performance is a valuable asset of the movie. I am not exactly sure what I dislike about it, if anything. Some parts of it just seem of little relevance (and what with a length of 2 hours and a half...). Anyway, a certain lack of focus seems to be the problem, or one problem. The ending was just wrong, too, or felt wrong, anyway. It was like the film suddenly revealed itself to be just a mother-daughter melodrama.
