Alex Wolff stars as a young man grieving for his mother, with Imogen Poots as the opiate addict neighbor who pulls him into a mess of substance abuse and violence in Joey Klein's drug drama, also featuring Neve Campbell
— that pull off the tricky high-wire act of plunging you into the dark world of addiction while making you care about self-destructive characters. This is not one of them.
Wolff and Campbell strike a delicate balance of tenderness and distance in these early scenes, their physical closeness shadowed by Henry's anxiety and Rebecca's desire to protect him. Her efforts to prepare him for "every outcome" meet resistance, but the melancholy mood of his home life spills over into time spent with his girlfriend Rachel as the separation of her departure for college approaches.
There's no denying Poots' unflinching commitment to the jittery character, conveying the self-serving cunning of the addict as she manipulates the younger Henry into doing whatever she needs. But Ana is a Manic Pixie Nightmare Girl with no personality beyond her strung-out twitches and sudden eruptions of anger, which makes her an irritating bore to be around.
