How old is her character?

I wasn't sure if she was 16. She seemed 16. I am glad the actress was not a model. She was like an ordinary girl. The audience could relate to her. It reminded me of the book, Go Ask Alice.

She looked even younger. This made me a little uncomfortable that she was doing nudity and sex scenes. I just looked up actress's real age and it's 23. So I guess they didn't break the law.

I, too, thought she looked much younger, which made the nudity and sex scenes difficult to watch. It's hard to believe she's in her 20s. She has what I would call a baby face and her frequently displayed body had the coltishness of a very young girl. Well cast, in that respect. I found her too obnoxious to enjoy her narrative but the story did have the ring of truth.

I wouldn't call that an ordinary girl, she was very ugly and it was a bit hard to believe she hooked up so easily.

To be kind, I wouldn't say ugly, I'd say plain.
