I watched this because of the fuss over on social media with people wanting to cancel Netflix. The biggest problem with this film is how it was so poorly mis-marketed. The film is actually a disturbing look at a young girl rebelling against her "broken" family.
You watch this "sweet, innocent" girl fall in with the wrong crowd. A group of swearing kids who are entering a dancing contest. The language changes, her appearance does, her behaviour nose-drives - all the time, she is enticed because of how media sexualises women (models etc in skimpy outfits).
Some of the scenes are questionable for sure but I'm not exactly surprised given this is from the country that made Baise Moi. There is no nudity (thank God) and we're shown just enough to know what is going on (such as a young girl taking pictures of her privates to upload to the internet). Unfortunately this is highlighting a real problem in the world though. There are kids doing this because they feel peer pressure. This isn't a make believe film. It's a very real and uncomfortable film. It's deeply unnerving to watch and powerful. I can see why it gets the awards and nominations that it did but - that being said - it is a film I never want to watch again.
Bottom line is: keep an eye on your children and the influences that drive them.
