Ms. Rowan's self-confident shell falls away and you see the kids absorbing the fact that all the promise in the world can be worn down by the grind of just trying to be noticed. It's a nice dose of reality in a slick, prettily photographed, highly produced cinematic world...

Or that Abbie Hoffman was watching his favorite film, The Godfather, as he swallowed a fatal dose of whiskey and barbiturates? Or that when the police departed - and she was finally left alone with her dead husband's corpse - Courtney Love dipped her hands in Kurt Cobain's blood before eerily washing a piece of his blown-out skull...
