I don't necessarily buy his, "research," claim, but the hard data shows he never obtained or viewed anything at any time.


Not a show, a film.


I haven't seen it either, but I saw the trailer yesterday and what is in the trailer, as mentioned above, doesn't look any different from those TLC shows or what you see in a schoolyard at recess (my wife mentions often, how ridiculously *10* year olds dress nowadays and she's only 27, so it's not like she's a curmudgeon or anything).

I also think someone with an agenda wrote the imdb parents guide, as it constantly states that, "Twerking," occurs throughout the film. That single word set a ton of people off.

My POV on these things are that art is art and it is subjective to everyone; get the context and meaning behind it before condemning it (unless it's a snuff film set out to do just that, like that Norwegian film from a few years back; that has no artistic value, IMO) and if the film is blatantly sexualizing children and promoting it, then go ahead and tear it down.

But if it is a deconstruction on what children values are shown as in today's world and it is a critique on liberal Western Culture, as opposed to conservative Muslim Culture, then that is what the film should have its merits based upon.

Either way, I don't (and never will) have Netflix, so I'll never know.


100% does (just see the YT comments on the trailer, for how people are turning this political). I actually came into PnR last night to see if anyone had started a thread on it and no one had yet.

(I saw, #cancelnetflix trending on Twitter and was SUPER excited, because I hate every shred of that organization's existence and how they've destroyed physical media)

Oh the reactions have been politically based sure.  Actual discussion of the movie is what I meant.
