Acting-wise, big shout out has to come to the kids playing the main roles. The adults were all good professional actors. But those kids were something special. There is a famous shot from the movie where Alice played by Phoebe Ferro is looking intensely at the camera, giving the audience the necessary chills. When a child makes a face that makes you respect that child immediately, this is, in my opinion, a skill to praise. So bravo, Phoebe Ferro, Skyler Peters, Charlie Stover and Lorelei Mote. You are awesome!
