She seems to have an escape from this bleak existence after meeting Beth, a vibrant woman her own age and Adele's opposite in looks and personality. As they spend more time together Adele begins to adopt some of Beth's behaviors and mannerisms, however their friendship ends up leading to dark and twisted events.

Reception

Bloody Disgusting and Modern Horrors both reviewed Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl, the former writing that the movie "not without flaws – the rather sudden ending, for one – and it does nothing to update the genre, or comment on its influences" but that "Those who appreciate that side of the genre will find something rare and delightful. It is a stylistic achievement, and in the end, a melancholy exploration of just what the title promises – loneliness."[3][4] The Austin Chronicle also reviewed the movie, commenting that they found the film's "little moments" "chillingly captivating".[5]
