    • Trivia
      Jessica Chastain's feature film debut.
    • Goofs
      When Jolene is narrating about the trial of Uncle Phil she says that she needed to prove that she was 16 and therefore he was guilty of "statutory rape"; This part of the film takes place in South Carolina where the age of consent is 16 therefore it would not be statutory rape, he could be found guilty of adultery and that would have been grounds for divorce from his wife though.
    • Quotes

      Jolene: [working at the drive-in] Why is it only the guys tip?

      Kendra: 'Cause the girls are jealous of you.

    • Crazy credits

    Well crafted

    I didn't know what to expect from this film, but I found it to be very well written and acted. It was believeable and moved at a great pace. It kind of reminded me of Sissy Spachek in Coal Miners Daughter.
