Just watched this with my wife, total blah. I do not mind slow artsy movies, but yeah, this one did nothing for me other than make me think there was some inappropriate things going on. If the point of the movie was to make people feel completely uncomfortable, they did achieve that with smashing success.
3/5 - Chloe loves her dodgy roles!

Exactly, and even if she is older than the character she played, the movie starts off at her 13th birthday party, so she is damn young. It just felt incredibly wrong to have a 13 year old girl in the situations she was in, even if it is a movie, and even if 13 year old girls are indeed in those types of situations, which I do not doubt that they are. Would have been much easier tolerate if she was say 17. I do get the whole point of it all, basically it is all about even if she is 13 she does in fact face very adult situations, I do get that, but it just seemed to push the envelope of decency IMO, and I am honestly pretty tolerant of people pushing the envelope of decency and do no doubt know it can serve a purpose. That I believe is probably my biggest issue with the movie itself, I am not sure overall what the whole purpose was. I have some theories naturally, but as I said, I definitely did feel uncomfortable watching some of the scenes.yeah it was a bit wrong seeing Chloe do and say some of the things considering her age

As I write all of this I realize the people behind this movie just pretty much achieved what they set out to do, and that was have people discuss these facts. So I guess in that regards it is a successful movie for them.
