Holly rises to the challenge, striking out on her own in her teens, adapting to the changed world around her. She discovers how to get by, living in the shadows of the night, taking full advantage of the new opportunities presented to her. Excelling as a photojournalist who exposes celebrities’ dirty laundry for a popular tabloid, she has learned to navigate the nightlife undetected — that is, until she meets down-on-his-luck bouncer Shayne while out on a job.
Though it lags intermittently, Myers’ feature moves at a fluid pace. The first 30 minutes are snappy despite being heavy on exposition — not just from Thirlby’s perfectly deadpan narration, which delivers the bulk of information, but also from the internet video Holly watches to fill in Shayne’s backstory. The rules of Holly’s world are delivered in an easily digestible manner.
