So Young, So Lovely, So Vicious...

About This Movie

So Young, So Lovely, So Vicious... dives deep into family dynamics with a raw intensity. Angela's simmering rage at her father's new fiancée drives the film, creating a tension that grips you throughout. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languorous at times, which contrasts sharply with the emotional turmoil the characters experience. There's a certain grit to the performances that lends authenticity, especially as Angela's schemes unfold. It's not just about a girl versus a stepmom; it’s a study of jealousy, love, and the lengths one might go to protect what feels threatened. You can really feel the era in the film's atmosphere, with practical effects that enhance the storytelling without overshadowing it.

This film is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with few prints available, which adds to its allure. It has had limited re-releases, so finding an original copy can be tricky. Those who appreciate the subtleties of 70s drama will find it a gem worth tracking down, although it may not be on everyone's radar just yet.
