This oversight is even the case for the film’s main protagonist Kit Gordy ( AnnaSophia Robb, of “ The Way, Way Back”), a challenging young woman with a fiery temper and a long history of academic suspensions.
While this is also technically true for “Down A Dark Hall,” its script (co-written by Michael Goldbach and Chris Sparling) limits the film’s talented ensemble of players by neglecting to build them out as full-fledged characters we can slowly get to know and care about. And yet, the aforementioned shortcomings are hardly the fault of YA, a genre that is often (wrongly) dismissed as slight and lowbrow but continues to give young female actors the rare gift of meaty parts.
