Too much too fast
I really wanted to like this movie but there was just too much going on and too much introduced too quick. I feel like this movie would have been a better movie a few years from now after a couple Standalone characters have had their movie. They tried to capitalize on the Batman v. Superman movie but ended up losing the point.

"I was a young, precocious seventeen-year-old and this was what I listened to all the time on my Walkman. I had grown up with it. There were deep musicians around us all the time, painters and people into jazz, so I knew I had a feeling for it. The flat was a hub of bohemian appreciation. I learnt that John Coltrane was better than everyone else because he was melodic. Some of the atonal ones, that was all a bit too much. That’s what was played here all the time. I moved out of home when I was 16 and we had a house in Shepherd’s Bush. A shithole, one of the rooms was the dustbin, and that was what I listened to, to the absolute horror of everyone else there, smoking their shit spliffs."

Was looking around for something to watch, was going to watch the series Hanna then noticed that there was originally a film. Throughly enjoyed it, great atmospheric music too although I don't normally notice it if I am engrossed in a film. The film is open ended so there could have been a second one but I presume that will be covered in the series. Not sure if I will watch the series now that I know the general storyline unless it is expanded on. Would recommend the film.
  
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Everyone was jumping on the bandwagon when the movie was released & nothing makes me avoid a book like a slew of people reading it because of a movie. But I have to say I really enjoyed reading it. I guess I was expecting some big, weepy, woe is me tale. Sure, there were parts that were along that vein but as a whole it was much more about power, taking control of your life, & moving forward. There is no way in hell this girl could do the hike Cheryl undertakes. She is one brave woman & I was relieved that she was eventually able to see that about herself too.
