Super close mother Lyn and daughter Iona (Dafty One and Dafty Two) are excited for their new life in a new town. Determined to make a success of things after a tricky start, Iona becomes 'best friends' with Keely, Stacey and Chelsea. Used to being Iona's bestie herself, Lyn feels left out. So Lyn also makes friends with Belinda, her neighbour.

Reviews
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
James Jay A true life fairy tale that explores what so many people experience, the odd couple in a new town wanting desperately to make friends and become accepted, but find themselves lured by the wicked side of those around them to do things they think they must do, or cannot do and the consequences that human beings can lead others into when they enjoy making them unhappy rather than choosing love and the unhappiness and and truths that this brings home. Remarkable debut for someone who had never directed on this scale before and a thought provoking movie everyone should see, especially parents and schoolchildren.
bellej-13318 .. Pin Cushion.. a coming of age film.. shocking in content & very emotional.. left me feeling angry.. feeling gutted.. & driving with tears in my eyes.. so many Iona's.. so many Keeley's.. so many loving mother's who don't quite fit in.. so very sad.. I saw the film on my own.. it's never bothered me.. I like my own company as much as others.. & I've never liked to restrict my life based on what others can & cant do.. even Cinderella dressed up & went to the ball by herself.. inspiring right there.. after watching the movie, I realised we need to empower all girls to have the strength to walk alone when needed.. to fully assert themselves when required.. to accept themselves, quirks & all.. & to reject manipulative behaviour from others.. whether from an adult or child.. very moved by this film.. I imagine it will hit cords everywhere x
dannar-leitmaa In some reason I saw it as an entrance for horror festival. It is not horror movie, although there are some similarities with Carrie, Requiem For a Dream or with 13 reason why. Story evolves around socially incapable mother whose only friend are her daughter, some birds and porcelain dolls. Mother and daughter have really close relationship, but as daughter is getting older she's trying to find some friends of her own. Similarity with Carrie? - Daughter is not well accepted by her schoolmates. There is no paranormality. Similarity with Requiem for A Dream? - Lapses of reality and sequences which are mere hallucinations. Similarity with 13 reasons why? - How can one mistake lead to the catastrophe.Great movie, really great.
ciaofrancesca A story told with poetry and colours, about the love between a mother, her daughter and their efforts to fit-in, at the expense of valuing their own unique identity. A story of mean bullyism and peer pressure which remains cruel and hypocritical at any stage of life. A script that resonates well with our contemporary, conforming society.
