Ambitious but uneven indie US debut about two girls and their reaction to their mother's volatility and their father's increasing resort to the church as a provider of stability; the elder girl entertains visions of a punitive devil, and decides to purify the family of sin. An imaginative attempt to get into a young girl's mind, not unlike Ann Turner's Celia, but one which suffers from languid pacing and some rather overt poeticism.
