Movie Reviews of Pretty Baby
Movie Review: Disturbing Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been hearing about this film for years and finally saw it on late night BBC-tv about five years ago.
I found it beautiful, thought provoking but also a bit disturbing, being about a 12 year old prostitute. However, there is no denying that was a common occurrence in 1917 (on both sides on the "pond").
Louise Malle took a real gamble making it in 1977 and it evoked outrage from some quarters when it was released. Here in UK, there was talk of banning it. Luckily, reason pervailed.
If you are easily shocked, avoid watching it. If not, buy it and enjoy Malle's masterpiece, because in today's "moral" climate you'll never see anything like it made again!
Movie Review: Not for the faint of heart
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not for the faint of heart where child sexuality is concerned. It gives an accurate account of life in New Orleans brothels. If you are offended by this subject, and shocked at almost full frontal nudity and full nudity of the back of children you should avoid this movie.
It is tragic in it's subject and accurate in it's content. If you come away feeling sorry for the characters then the film makers have done what they intended.
Movie Review: Beautiful Brooke
Summary: 5 Stars
The best part about this movie is Brooke Shields. Her beauty is obvious even at that age. She had some nude scenes. This is the type of film that perhaps can no longer be made in the climate that we live in. Susan Sarandon plays the part of Brooke's mother. Keith Carradine is also along for the ride as a not-so-successful photographer. I highly recommend this film to those who can appreciate the works of David Hamilton and Jock Sturges.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Is a wonderful movie, great acting, great directing, and interesting era. Brook Shields was stunning.
The movie portrays a young girl growing up in a brothal in the old days. Its how they lived, and how life was than.Its a little suprising some of the stuff in it, but that was life than. Thats how we use to live. Its very educationl also. All in all it was a great movie.
Movie Review: Bravo!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that will bring your emotion up to a boil. Yes, a taboo subject, however well done.If you like a good drama that is not a take off of another you watched a week ago then this is it.You will not soon forget this film.
