Mixed feelings


I don't think this movie should be banned or that anyone deserves to be sued, but I do believe Netflix could have marketed it in a less cringey way. Plus, the filmmakers could have told this same story without all the creepy camera shots.

A movie that claims to be about ending the sexualization of children chooses to abuse them and put them in sexualized situations. The problem is that this is child pornography, non-nude child pornography. It follows the criteria of child pornography.

Whether the focal point of the visual depiction is on the child's genitalia or pubic area.
Whether the setting of the visual depiction is sexually suggestive, i.e., in a place or pose generally associated with sexual activity.
Whether the child is depicted in an unnatural pose, or in inappropriate attire, considering the age of the child.

The problem is that you do not see the abused children as victims... remember that the film ADMITS that the sexualization of children is abuse but it chooses to sexualize them and claim it's art. If we had full on rape in the movie you'd be horrified, but because you're desensitized to directors abusing children for money you don't care.
