Description:
From award winning director Rebecca Miller comes this poignant coming-of-age story about a young girl caught between the harsh realities of a difficult family life and the fantasy world she escapes to inside her head. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sun
Amazon.com:
This eerily beautiful film stars Miranda Stuart Rhyne as Angela, a young girl trying to cope with her family's falling apart. Her mother (Anna Thomson) has drastic mood shifts that bring her from manic happiness to utter misery. Her father (John Ventimiglia) tries to hold everyone together, but Mae's vacillations are becoming more than he can manage. Adrift, Angela and her little sister concoct magical rituals and have visions of fallen angels and the Virgin Mary; reading signs in the way a towel falls off a chair or a tool falls off a truck, they set off to find their way to heaven. Angela succeeds because of writer-director Rebecca Miller's keen understanding of childhood, when imagination and reality are fluid and fantasies can exert a potent influence over a child's life. An unsettling and affecting movie, with an excellent performance by Rhyne. --Bret Fetzer

This movie, I think, is well done. If you like the artistic form of the young female body, you will love this movie. The scenes of the little girls were done very tastefully. I have always enjoyed viewing the female body in its purest form. It is a beautiful creation that many people, especially men, take for granted. There is nothing sexual or arousing about any of the scenes and they are done in the most prestigious of settings. Very well constructed.
The plot is a great one. ... Read More

once again. the movie is a little roughly crafted. There are a few scenes in which you can see the boom mike. or equipment. but the story, the acting and most of the photography is superb. The story reaches deep into the mind and the sweet-and-sour realism is the climax of art. The child actors, specially miranda stawrt rhine are in a word, sublime. there are some brief scenes of nudity so a little parental guidance. They are inocent and natural so no obsenity or adult situations are present. (that ... Read More

"Angela" was not your average film. It was a strong opening from Rebecca Miller, the spawn of playwright Arthur Miller and film vixen Marilyn Monroe, but where it suffered was that it felt too amateurish. Without biting my tongue "Angela" began impressively, strong opening with a family's move to a new home. The defined mother/father characters (albeit eerily similar references to Marilyn Monroe), two strong girl leads that seem to have genuine chemistry together, and an undefined era which allowed my ...

There are two issues in this movie. The first is of a couple of little girls growing up with a mentally ill mother. Angela, in her immaturity, feels at least a bit responsible for her mother's situation. She wants to be especially good, feeling that it is her 'badness' that keeps her mother sick. This is very common. One girl our family has grown to love as one of our own daughters understood that it was after her mother got pregnant with her the schizophrenia manifested itself in her mother. So, ... Read More

This is a provocative and rare example of when American goth art combines with American cinematic genius. Fans of David Hamilton may especially apperciate the artistic visuals of the young star, Angela, and her younger sister.
This film requires an open mind and one who apperciates all colors of art from darkness to light.
It brings you through the very real private journeys and experences of a young girl becoming a young woman. As with most girls at the character's age, Angela becomes isolated ... Read More
