hounddog

Photobucket

Saw Hounddog a few days ago. The controversy surrounding this film is well known. Dakota Fanning plays a young rape victim. Yes that would be a terrible burden for any child actor to have to play, but she pulls it off. There wasn't a second where her performance wasn't believable. The damage, the death of innocence. Growing up isn't easy, and the character she plays has a harder time of it than most. Controversy or not, her performance was devastating.
