As she detaches more and more from her mother, the girl forms an unlikely bond with the hitchhiker, blurring the line between running away and kidnapping. “Sometimes Getting Lost is The Only Way Out” In 2007, Jess Weixler was nominated for a Breakthrough Award at the Gotham Awards and won the Special Jury Prize in the Dramatic category for her performance at the Sundance Film Festival; both awards were for her role in Teeth.
