Continuity mistake: At lunchtime, only Martha has a large drink with a red straw, but some views show a second red straw behind hers. In the distant view when lunch is almost over, there is only one red straw/drink on the table. (00:06:27 - 00:07:28)

Drab yet surprisingly captivating story about doll factory workers - "unattractive" middle-aged Martha and handsome but shy adult teenager Kyle, who Martha considers her best friend, and newly-hired young adult Rose who starts stealing Kyle's attention.
Martha agrees to babysit Rose's 2-year-old daughter, only to find out Rose is going on a date with Kyle. After Rose returns from the date, her estranged boyfriend shows up, demanding the money back that Rose stole but denies. There's a heated argument in front of Martha, but the boyfriend leaves the house. The next morning, police discover that Rose has been strangled to death. Martha was the last person to see Rose alive, but Martha suspects Rose's boyfriend waited outside until she left to go back inside and murder Rose.
Set in Ohio, the three main "actors" were inexperienced "unknowns" from Ohio and West Virginia and parts of their "real lives" were incorporated into the movie. The "actors" presented themselves as the ordinary people they were, making their conversations sound natural, not like memorized lines. (Even the most experienced Hollywood actor could not give this natural of a performance!) Kind of a disappointing ending, but the deleted scene containing the alternate ending is much better.
Movie is more intriguing than exciting.
