This movie doesn't have any real flaws that I can point to. It's well acted, well thought out, and constantly engaging in a way that kept me interested and guessing. The setting is a foster care facility with seriously disturbed teens who can't adjust to society. The real parents are no-shows, except when the children recall being abused physically and sexually. The story doesn't give the parents a voice at all. In fact, the one parent that makes a showing is in a deep sleep while the dialogue plays out between his daughter and the care worker. There are many other interesting aspects to this film that are worth mentioning. It actually takes the time to develop several of the characters, including a meticulous portrait of the two main characters, played very well by Brie Larson and John Gallagher Jr. The only real criticism I'd add is that the movie tries too hard to include a diverse group of kids, so really every ethnic group is represented, which detracts from the story.
