Synopsis

Desperate for connection, lonely young Jane (Rain Spencer, The Summer I Turned Pretty) meets a group of teen misfits who offer her acceptance and camaraderie. She falls hard for their playful but domineering ringleader, Jamie (Patrick Gibson title role in the upcoming Dexter: Original Sin), and becomes entangled in his amateur drug operation. As her life spirals violently out of control, Jane must choose between Jamie and her own survival.

“What I’m most looking forward to is engaging with an audience. Like, who are the Janes out there, what are they going to ask me? That’s what I’m really curious about. I want to meet the people to whom this film speaks, if they are out there. Those are the questions that I’m really tingling with and excited to hear and answer.” Said director Sarah Elizabeth Mintz on her vision of the film in an interview with Cinema Femme.

Reviews

Robert Daniels in a The Playlist review praised the film and gave it a grade of B+, writing, “It’s Mintz’s intense and bracing gaze that allows her to chart her own singular path for a bleak, pointed portrait of self-destruction, crumbling mental health, and the crumminess of men.”

Richard Propes in a The Independent Critic review gave the film a 3.5/5 score, praising Spencer’s performance, writing, “Good Girl Jane announces the presence of Rain Spencer in a way that should have Hollywood knocking on her door. A fierce, honest, and unforgettable performance that brings to life this equally fierce, honest, and unforgettable film.”
