The Girl from Plainville: Season 1

...a provocative series that provides perspective and will make you think about how willing the news media is to exploit a tragedy, how difficult it can be to be a teenager, and how hard society is on young women.

Elle Fanning is chilling in grimly compelling courtroom drama.

Elle Fanning, Colton Ryan, and Chloe Sevigny elevate a story that read tawdry in social media headlines but emerges here as a sensitive portrait of two teens who encouraged each other's worst impulses.

The performances are great. Fanning walks a series of fine lines – between normal adolescent intensity and delusion, between youthful egocentricity and narcissism, between love and need – with aplomb.
