    While I agree with your point, she played a child prostitute whose virginity was sold to the highest bidder.

      Yes, and it’s literally based on a true story that has happened a hundred times over and the film portrays this as a horrible thing.

      Like the story is repellent and horrible because it is supposed to be. This is like a criticism of Schindler’s List because it portrays a genocide.

        I can’t imagine volunteering my child to take that role personally. They don’t have the maturity to understand the subject matter

        This is like a criticism of Schindler’s List because it portrays a genocide.

        It’s like criticizing an article about Schindler’s List with the bolded caption “Find out how many kikes can fit in an oven”.

        It’s funny because there is plenty of horrifying and deliberately salacious shit that they did with Shields that would merit more criticism.

        The quote directly below a photo of her and Woody Allen is more than I needed to see, thanks.
