Was already mentioned in here but reminded me a little bit of Thirteen, except thriteen was more from a 'parent's nightmare' point of view of a young mom trying to be buddies with her kid. This is entirely from a young girl's viewpoint navigating between an ultra conservative home life, and and ultra sexualized world, trying to fit in

There are absolutely some scenes that made me uncomfortable. I didn't see them as gratuitous or exploitative (Larry Clark type shit), but I'd argue that the movie doesn't work as well without them. A lot of it just reminded me of 6th and 7th grade when things abruptly went from playing with Star Wars toys to everyone suddenly talking about sex and not really understanding most of it.

I also wouldn't chalk up all the controversy to Qanon shit. Thriteen was controversial when it came out. So was KIDS. We just didn't have social media
