She does messy things in the film, but even then she carries herself with an otherworldly glide that distinguishes her from Eileen’s small-town skitter.

If only the film better served its ensemble. Instead, it tosses away all that fine work with a snicker. It is possible for a movie to exist solely as a puckish wink and a nudge, a brief diversion designed to deliver a punchline.
