Taking advantage of intellectually challenged people and framing it as “sexy” does not sit well with me. I honestly question an A-list actress for doing a film like this. It felt like a Victorian era Barbarella pedophile movie.

I do not understand how this issue of consent can be so easily overlooked or flat out ignored in this day and age. I cannot believe this article has only a handful comments or that I had to really search to find this in depth analysis. The film’s stance on consent of minors, and those with mental or emotional disabilities, basically anyone in the vulnerable adult population is indefensible. It was intentionally done. Along with the rest of it mentioned in the article, basically turns back the clock on women’s empowerment. And we’re giving all the accolades to this? Disgusting.

This is much needed analysis.

All my friends loved the movie. I am told that I dont understand the feminist message. I am so sad to see that the movie got away with so much.

Thank you for articulating the problems with this movie, brilliant piece of writing.

Apologies to you Danny but this piece is a total misapprehension of the film from top-to-bottom.
