Cast and Crew Quotes
"Jenn is a very conflicted girl, she's tortured and she comes across as somebody who thinks she's an adult, thinks she's ready for adult relationships and puts on a front. But she's alone and she has an attitude that makes her snappy and cheeky and aggressive, and, like most young women, she has a deep-seated vulnerability."
- Amber Heard
"The first act of the film you start to notice that something is really off. My character is desperately seeking affection. She realizes she's just looking to understand love. She's a vulnerable character that's cheeky and tough on the outside. There were some layers there and I thought it was a real character that made sense not just to me but to a lot of girls."
- Amber Heard
