Wilkes is okay here, but most enjoyable are the supporting performances by her &#8220;offbeat&#8221; friends &#8212; including Dick Shawn as a transvestite hooker (with a heart of gold, naturally), and Susan Tyrrell as her crotchety landlady. <em>Angel<\/em>&#8216;s plot bears some similarity to <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=1013\"><em>The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane<\/em> (1978)<\/a>: like Jodie Foster&#8217;s Rynn, Molly\/Angel is dead set against anyone finding out that she&#8217;s surviving on her own.
