* AdultFear: Expected from a film about a child molester fighting his inner demons and getting closer and closer to an 11-year-old girl. But the prize goes to "Candy", who casually earns the trust of young boys and takes them for a ride in his car...

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Mary-Kay falls squarely under this. Under that sugar-coated smile hides a manipulative personality. She never stops snooping around Walter with truly unhealthy fixation about him and then unleashes a hate campaign against him that almost turns into a lynch. Never mind Walter doing his best to start a new life with a clean slate, she deliberately ruins his chance to do so, with a flimsy excuse of "because everyone should know".

Never mind Walter doing his best to start a new life with a clean slate, she deliberately ruins his chance to do so, with a flimsy excuse of "because everyone should know". Her method causes nothing but trouble in the workplace as a result and if anything given how Walter hasn't done anything to any of his/her co-workers that she knows about, the problem should more be with her boss for hiring him in the first place. But she creates an enemy out of a guy who wasn't truly an enemy at that point.

A small, quiet drama that neither downplays nor judges its protagonist. And it really lives through Bacon's great acting in a surely very difficult role to play.
