Stefano T Really interesting film. Violet is this little girl who's living a life which is definitely not made for a kid that age. She acts as a woman, she is sexualised and she does things that are not appropriate for her age (which are disturbing for most the audience and I totally understand that). But her character is interesting, in this mix up of woman/kid acts. And this film is certainly unique for its genre. It's controversial, but I find the critics too hard in that aspect: they call this "child pornography", while there is no scene of sex at all. There are a couple of scenes of Brooke Shields naked, which can be upsetting considering her age (12) but that's all. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Brooke Shields is the whole show, So vibrant, so charismatic, charming, headstrong, and full of life, Brooke out acts the rest of cast, There's no real plot, Just a character study, as movie is told mainly from Brooke’s POV, She's a naive 12 year old kid who knows no other life than living and working in a fun loving, good natured brothel. Movie deftly handles the dicey and sensitive subject matter Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review JM M Terrible exposure of a child to a pornographic environment. The real abused one was the child actress Brooke Shield, who was exploited by her Mother. This was very perverse, damaging the innocence of a child. How can this movie be legal? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Ram L To use a snippet from a critic's review out of context and in isolation—"...all the cries of child pornography..." — If one could go beyond those cries, one would see here a sensitive depiction of human nature, of human-ness (not humaneness), of the tenderness of the heart that one seldom gets to see in movies. This is most definitely not a movie to one whose mind is confined to societal sensibilities; it *will* be enjoyed by people who can appreciate sensitive portayals of the manner in which the human heart—and mind—works. "Der Wille des Herzens," as we say; the will of the heart. Rather many hearts in the case of this movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Sarah W The manner they made this movie is so appalling to the point I had to read the script in order to avoid further watching the movie. At this point let's just renamed the movie to "Child exploitation 101". Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Janice M The movie was fair, a little slow moving, but Brook Shields should have been removed from her mother's home for letting her or putting her in this movie.. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
