Cavities

13 year-old Nina hates her Mom, her thighs and the ill-fitting bridesmaid dress she must wear tomorrow at her mother's wedding. When her Mom has to help her out of the dress, she decides to take matters into her own hands.

Directed by Hope Dickson Leach, Cavities leans on a strong ensemble — Valerie Shusterov, Julie Kessler, Camille Thoman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2004.
