A very fine, moving and realistic movie that follows the choices made by three young women - one a drug dealer, one an addict, one a pregnant teen - in Jersey City, using local people as actors.

It looks like a community project film and has remarkable performances by Judy Marte as Oz and Paola Mendoza as the yound single parent.

One of those good solid little 'films d'auteur' american that slip by unnoticed and well, well worth a shot.
