    I loved this and loved how easily it all unfolded. Some critics said it lacked something - whether it was Lea’s personality or inner world - but I think any more character development would’ve been unnatural, unrealistic. These critics seem to have forgotten has small one’s world is when they’re only 17.

    This looks like it will be a powerful and impactful movie depicting what grooming and emotional abuse looks like. More people should be aware of this type of domestic abuse and how it manifests.

    What I appreciate about this trailer is that it isn't glamorizing it. This whole thing makes me so uncomfortable because the age difference is palatable and the gaze/POV between the girl and the man is clear that he is taking advantage and she is vulnerable.

    Yeah it's not about the age difference. It's about how she was naive thinking he loved her. She let a loser her own age cum inside at start of the movie, so it's not about her being innocent or taken advantage of sexually, like sheep Karen's and feminists will pretend. It's about the emotional abuse of being misled. Great acted movie though.

    The end of the film or the end of the trailer? At the end of the movie, Lea gives Tom the slip. For his own safety so that he doesn’t get caught, Tom changes his phone number and leaves town. Lea manages to get ahold of his number from one of his old neighbours. Wen Tom finds out she’s alone, he’s willing to talk to her on the phone. She tells him that she misses him too, implying that he probably told her he missed her. He never sees her again

    The topic of human trafficking is superficially approached within this movie and it could have been a reference piece for all teenagers and their parents. The fact that a 17 year old falls in love with an older creepy guy who forces her to become a prostitute but she does not escape the room he puts her into even if she has her phone with her, then she gets raped, after she returns to the predator is so unrealistic.........

    They say maturity, generally doesnt take in human brains until about 30. So the guy, post 30, pursues later teen. Not outrageous, but a flag. Then there's some cultural things tough to simplify. Yet the simple point really is..regardless of the maturity of the teen...If someone post 30 or just significantly older pursues teen or younger...It's generally going to be disturbed person pursuing non emotionally formed person. Maybe that's films point. 19 is legal though, true.
