Crime + Punishment in Suburbia
“No one stays innocent forever”
At school, Roseanne is the object of fellow student Vincent's infatuation. By night, she deals with a troubled family life: her mother, Maggie, cheats on her drunken husband, Fred. When Maggie's adultery is revealed, Fred viciously takes his anger out on stepdaughter Roseanne. With the help of her boyfriend, Jimmy, Maggie plots her revenge, but Vincent might be the one to help her forge a new life in this contemporary fable loosely based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment".
This film feels like a raw, unflinching look at the darkest corners of suburban life. It's a heavy, disturbing watch that explores the cyclical nature of abuse and the desperate search for escape, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
