A disturbing look at the inner lives of two children with nowhere to turn but inward. The title character (Miranda Stuart Rhyne), a volatile 10-year-old with an overactive imagination, subjects her six-year-old sister (Charlotte Blythe) to an increasingly
dangerous series of ritual ordeals, hoping to heal their manic-depressive mother (Anna Thomson) through sympathetic magic. Mystical, grim and uncompromising, this low-budget entry marks the feature debut of director Rebecca Miller, daughter of playwright Arthur Miller.
