For all kind and admirable reasons, Zentelis wants to portray America's working poor, but she only gets deep enough to pity them.

While the film has striking moments, it feels padded with events that seem freighted with narrative weight but end up not mattering at all to the story.

The dialogue is on-the-nose and its lessons are pedestrian, but the film remains a “working poor-trait” of poignancy and grace due to Addie Land's unself-conscious turn.

Newcomer Land is a find, performing with guileless naturalism and resilient dignity.

It's a shame, because this could have been one of those little movies that made you feel so much for a young girl's struggle to find her place - this didn't.

Too bad Zentelis didn't find someone else to write the script, because Evergreen combines all the cliched elements of a season's worth of a WB teen drama.

Although Zentelis doesn't always nail the strange rhythms of real life, she does show that she's on the right track.
