The movie is a truly great experience, it's take on the situation on us all and individual/sexual freedom in the industrialised christian world is genius. The photography is also a sight for sore eyes with it's great edit.Truly genius.A movie that made me very happy because I now know that other people in the world see things in a same manner as I do.Congratulations to the makers....

I just saw this movie not long ago, I think it is a wonderful movie on a side of life which is close to reality for some people it shows the parents, caring for their child, while she goes through the time of puberty and masturbation she is put down by her parents because of this and this makes her feel unwanted and sad, and she takes it as far as to think about taking her own life, I think the daughter plays a brilliant role and is very pretty too. All over it was a very interesting but very good movie. All up I would give it 7 1/2 out of 10
