andy h It may be a bit preachy and outdated for a propaganda film, but it keeps you watching until the end in hopes for the best with its old fashioned direction and performances. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "Disjointed" comes to mind. There are better ways to waste your time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review bill t "Lurid" is a good way to describe this backwoods tale about murder, lust, and yes, CHILD MARRIAGE. I guess they do things differently in them back woods, as murders happen, near lynchings happen and other things without any reason or repurcussion, A deeply flawed, but fascinating film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Should I be depressed now that I've seen this? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I absolutely loathe Child Bride and I think it is one of the worst films ever made. While it tries to have an anti child marriage message at its core, the film backfires horribly and becomes unintentionally creepy, and at times, horrifying. Since this is a propaganda film, such films during this time period could avoid the usual censors that the Hays Code put on films, so that propaganda films could properly convey their messages. This brings Child Bride into a whole new terrifying light, making the unfortunate viewer wonder what the fuck the creepy film-makers were trying to get away with (Especially since the film has a skinny dipping scene involving the main character). On top of feeling like a creepy pro-pedophelia film, the film as a whole is completely inept just by itself since the story is horribly written, the acting is positively dreadful, the dialogue is terrible and creepy simultaneously, and it's also so fucking boring that I had to watch it twice, because I fell asleep watching it the first time. Child Bride is creepy, inept, boring as hell, and has very few moments of camp value to derive any form of entertainment value. Avoid it at all costs. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review sarfaraz a Child Bride, touches critical issue of underage girls, given into marriage to elderly men. It's also controversial film for partially showing naked underage girl (played by Shirley Mills - who would play Ruth Joad in John Ford's masterpiece The Grapes of Wrath in 1939). It's slow building film, you won't repent if you didn't watch it (actually). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
