This was an excellent film because, the characters were well done, actors very committed, the film itself never stepped out of context. It was impeccably directed, and I just want to point out, this is a soft version of reality. Most teenagers don't make it out, and I will be honest it's a good thing the poor girl never made it to Las Vegas, this town is infamous for chewing up girls and spitting them out in the desert somewhere to be forgotten. These critics don't know crap about stories like this because the hardest thing they ever dealt with was being the fat kid in gym class who didn't want to shower in front of peers. Or the worst of there struggles, they are secretly gay, but I guarantee you they have never found themselves as a teen, walking down any dark roads alone, or having to rely on street smarts just to be sure they got to see the sunrise that morning. So if you want to know what real people think, I'm one of the most critical, skeptical people when it comes to films. To be quite honest I hate watching movies these days, and I refuse to ever go to the theater. Nine times out of ten you walk away wondering if you just wiped your ass with $20.00. My last statement, if you like movies that are more realistic, yet has its funny moments, you may want to watch this. If your into superhero films like green lantern or iron man or prefer movies like CatFish, crap only critics like, than you may want to skip it. If you have any trouble believing this, I advise you not to just watch the news, but check out your local coroners missing people or unidentified bodies, the reality is it could of ended a lot worse, as it often does.

having not read the book before watching the movie I had no idea what to expect, however I was not let downboth Eddie and Chloe I will admit held the whole performance and those complaining about some scenes ( for those who have seen it understand) she was 14 when the movie came out prob less when filming it I mean its get an older actor or get the age appropriate actress!! Having read the book as soon as i watched the movie I can see why people were let down but to me they done the best they could and it couldn't turned out better!!the only thing that got to me was that they left out the meeting of the boy in the motel and the game they played! it would have made the seen just after make more sense

I Am in love with this movie. I watched it not expecting o enjoy it what so ever. the story was good, though a bit creepy near the end. I loved Hick so much that I've seen it enough times to quote the whole movie. This is a movie you rather really hate or really like so if you haven't seen it yet I would strongly advise you to. The only questionable part is the rape scene in the end. Chloe Moretz pulls off another amazing role like always. She and Eddie change the mood from Dramatic to Funny to sad. I hope that they're are people that enjoy this movie as much as me. This will be one to show people 20 years from now when it becomes a classic. Hope you guys enjoy the film.

Hick was full of actors I tend to like, and that's why Iwanted to see it as well. And sure enough I enjoyed very much the acting in this film, which is the main asset of this film.13 year old Luli is growing up in trashy home without the stability which is recommended a young child. Her birthday present on her 13th birthday, which is held in a bar, is a gun. Luli is sick and tired of her mother's partner changing, and wants to go off to L.A. to find a more prosperous life. She starts off hiking, and soon gets picked up by a seemingly nice young man.Hick is a road-movie and a coming of age story which offers a nice ride. I tend to like stories which doesn't reveal too much of bad happenings, and I give kudos to the filmmaker here for letting us as viewers do some of the imaginative work. This might though be the reason for others not to like this movie as much as others.The setting is great, the believability the same, and obviously the director has a great hand with the actors as well. Some would want more from a film like this. I disagree. The acting is flawless by the entire cast, and this is why this will be so recommended by me. A nice story about dreary lives, which still is well worth watching as it delivers hope for a better tomorrow.
