The movie tells a story of a 9 year old girl, Phoebe, with apparent Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. While she deals with being odd and insecure, her mother and father are dealing with complexities in their relationship with each other and their challenging child. Her little sister feels neglected as Phoebe gains more attention.

REVIEW :
This is a story about a girl who is very different from everyone else. She seems to have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). In that sense, she has difficulty in connecting with the world and everyone else. While, her family and the school find it hard to handle her.
I like the idea of how a girl cannot follow the rules. How she feel uncomfortable and resist to follow the world. And how she created her own imaginary world and feel comfortable in it.
To me, the story connected with me. After all, it's about a girl who is different and that she finds it difficult to connect to the rest of the world.
The plot was good and the pacing was nice.
Even the drama teacher who looked like a minor character played a major role in the movie.
I like the idea of the movie that being different is okay and that we should let children be independent.
The cast did an excellent job. Each and everyone carried their role so well. They were all very believable. Elle Fanning really did a great job. Hopefully, she will appear in more great films.
The director did a great job, directing the movie. There were alot of intense moments and scenes in the movie.
A great film.
I rate it 4 stars and a half out of five. I have never seen such a film in my entire life and I look forward to more of these unique independent films.
