Less than ten minutes in....

You should, cracking film.

The only reason I watched is because of the storyline...

Ok I physically cannot watch all of this film and it's essentially a lesbian porno movie and I'm a guy!
The acting is worse than horrific and there are so many "how the hell?" questions it's just stupid!

If you want to watch a lesbian porn movie and pretty much fast forward to the juicy bits the watch it but don't waste your time with this cliche trash filled dire pile!

I absolutely agree with the OP, in fact I was about to make a thread stating the exact same points. This movie is utter garbage right from the beginning and the entire concept was just ridiculous. Sentenced to 9 years for defending herself from that creep? The evidence was there and it made no sense why she wasn't defended. This girl got jumped everywhere she turned. Sure, I've heard many times that women's jail cells are beyond horrific, but come on! This is nothing but a lesbian porno, the whole story was overshadowed by it. How many times did she strip down? And that was just the first 30-40 minutes. I couldn't watch it all. The acting by the main chick wasn't bad at all, but she should have saved it for a flick worth watching.

Couldn't agree more with OP.
I want to give this a 1 just on the first 15 minutes.
OMG even the warden had to be a sleazy pedophile! WTF!

Do I keep watching? Sigh...

Agreed - the whole trial scene at the beginning was complete *beep* She must have had the worst public defender in the world. Sure, the story needed to have a way to send her to prison, but the trial could have been done much better.

As to your point #1, regarding the way she was dressed in that scene ... I'll defend that scene and her wardrobe because she was alone in her bedroom, practicing her cello. She was dressed comfortably. Hell, when I'm home alone I sit around in my boxers and a T-shirt. So no criticism of how Anna was dressed in that scene. The truly ridiculous part of that scene was the way the stepfather had his bottle in a *beep* paper bag. The only reason to hide a bottle in a paper bag is if you're drinking in public. There is absolutely no reason to hide your bottle in a paper bag when you're drinking at home. Honestly, it would have made the scene better if he'd had the bottle right there in his hand, without the paper bag.

The wardrobe criticism is better saved for the final scene of the film, when Anna is out of prison and performing a cello recital. I was at one point a classical musician (I was a bassoonist in my high school orchestra), and I have watched videos of cello performances. In the movie's final scene, the first thing I noticed was that she had her legs spread way wider than necessary to play the cello. Her legs were spread so wide that her white panties under her black dress were showing. I've known enough cello players to know that spreading the legs that wide is not necessary. The cello isn't that damn big.

it gets better lesbian sex, so much lesbian sex you'll need to go take care of yourself

This "film" is shockingly bad even by Asylum standards (which I've been introduced to thanks to their prevalence on Netflix). At first I was *mildly* interested because it seemed to have a different texture than most Asylum films, but it went in the wrong direction.

At a glance yes, it does look like an excuse for lesbian porn, but although the sex and nudity is there, it isn't at all erotic, and in fact it's mostly repulsive. First of all, the females aren't really that attractive. If you're making lesbian softcore for the sake of lesbian softcore, there needs to be some of that idealized femininity going on (or at least as much of that image as the film makers can afford). Prison cells, short hair, boyish faces, pale thighs, cellulite, and toilets in the background don't do it for me.

But that's not even the worst part about the film. "Jailbait's" portrayal of the injustices in the correctional system via oversimplified (and obviously misunderstood) stereotypes puts the flick beyond any redemption. She was alternately *beep* or fighting every girl in the prison, which I didn't really understand. And the warden as evil incarnate? What *was* that about? The mother had ZERO understand and then magically did a 180 so that the plot could wrap up. No one had any gray area. Everyone was repugnant and devoid of personality, and there wasn't even much of a story, just one gratuitous scene after another.

Hang on though, what good is sex (rape at that) and violence (utterly senseless) without DRUGS? Even if I did suspend my disbelief enough to look past "Team Heroin" hanging out by a brick wall in full view (not even snorting heroin, but full-blown access to needles and "cooking" supplies), what was the point? One more nasty facet of life thrown on the pile without any regard to its place in the story.

Clearly the aim here was to shock and elicit reactions, but it fails because it doesn't really have anything to say about this strange vision of prison mentality. There's absolutely no substance behind all of the vile material because whoever orchestrated these sequences had no understand of rape, incarceration, fear, torture, or drug addiction.

I was going to comment on the same thing...about the Cello...horrible, horrible, horrible...the fingering and bow movement didn't even come close to matching the music that was supposedly being played. It wouldn't have been hard to at least teach this person the basics of playing to make it a little more believable. I did a better job faking it when I played for four years in jr. high and high school.
