My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)
A classic TV movie from the 1970s with Linda Blair a teenage runaway sent to a girl's reform school. She is quiet and withdrawn, making her a target for the bullies. One day she is sexually assaulted in the shower, a controversial scene once cut but now restored to the DVD release. It's no big deal compared to what is shown in modern films. Afterwards, Linda tries to escape but is caught and put in isolation. Later she goes home for a few days, where dad slaps her around and mom ignores it. Back at the reform school, she befriends a pregnant girl, leading to more complications. It occasionally hits some emotional notes, but succumbs to melodrama in the final act.
