Well, I have to admit I did not finish watching this cringefest - or should I say COULD not? I thought 'The Lover' featuring Jane Marsh was exploitative... But then again, it had nice atmospherics, while 'Ripe' is just fairly flat images meant to shock or create tension which instead nauseate or bore the viewer. This is pretty intense, right? OK, so the issue of pedophilism is touchy, but you can't build a WHOLE movie around it.
