Plot – Spoilers:
Anney is a young mother with an illegitimate daughter Bone. She’s obsessed with removing the ‘bastard’ out of Bone and goes through a couple of marriages with men in the hope of finding love and security.
Anney’s second marriage with Glen turns out disastrous for Bone though. While Glen tries hard to keep Anney happy, he also carries a massive chip as a failure in his father’s eyes. To him, Bone is an easy, at-hand outlet for his frustrations. But it’s not just the violence that interests him about Bone.
Controversial Scenes:
Jean Malone was 12 at the time of the movie’s release. And so the two molestation scenes garnered a lot of controversy. According to director Anjelica Huston, Jean Malone and Ron Eldard worked for a month with a stunt coordinator to figure out how they’d eventually enact the scenes.
Bro, child rape is so fuxked up,
Alguien sabe cómo verla es español
This is a really tragic story. Speaking as a Southerner, I can tell you without fear of contradiction that some of the most fucked stories placed to film are from my neck of the (back)woods.

Great Southern actors who have starred in great (and truly fucked up) Southern movies.
Glenne Headly (Aunt Ruth) was ambrosial and delineated the role so eloquently.
How did the girl who was laying down and sleeping in the back go through the windshield? There were three people sitting in the front.
Should have done the kid longer and harder she loved it
kick the chair, pedo <3
Fuck yourself
What kind of mother you are if you let your children to leave?just for a sick man?
what kind of mother walks in on her “man” raping her daughter smashes a vase over his head runs her and the kid to the car just to take him back and dump the daughter there….oh that’s right. Pathetic women who care more about dick than their kids.
Mia Farrow?
Bone reminds me of Wednesday 🙂
A good movie. It breaks my heart when Bone walks in that way because of pain,and the scene in the car was hard to watch… thank you for the movie!
Guy at then end almost got beat up as bad as a black man
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their child-rearing practices and skills mixed with their unparalleled work ethic are second to none. Their rational and logical thought toward circumstances coupled with their innate capability to de-escalate situations is to be envied and coveted. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African-Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement, hard work and a self-reliant nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
