While Rodriguez punches through the indie clutter to announce herself as a superb new movie talent, so Kusama scores big points in her first main event.
Rodriguez, who never acted before auditioning for the director, is utterly convincing, fluid and determined and jaded and wild like any teen-ager, but with a bracing spirit and a shocking store of ferocity.
Belongs to that most promiscuous of genres -- the go-for-it sports melodrama -- but transcends it and then some.
A coming-of-age tale that truly floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.
The movie belongs to Rodriguez: A gorgeous woman with a powerful body and the face of an Aztec princess, she's also a natural talent who instinctively understands the importance of economy in good acting.
Kusama understands her subject intimately, and it shows.
We're in for a long, unpleasant, reactionary ride.
