Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Loosely based on the fairy tale The Girl without Hands this tells the story of how Badgirl lost her hands, got them back, and earned her freedom.
Con: It’s a confusing mess. It’s not clear why she lost her hands in the first place nor what she did to get them back. And how would escaping the house do such a small girl any good at all?
