The film drops sharply from the romantic fantasy of early attraction to the brutal reality of abuse in the final act.
Critics consistently praised the film's stunning visuals and authentic portrayal of teenage experience, particularly in the early romantic sequences. However, the increasingly dark subject matter and concerns about the young actress's involvement in graphic scenes created significant division among reviewers. The film was ultimately respected as an important cautionary tale despite its disturbing content.
