bodiesmom Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Has anyone seen this? I'm interested in taking my dd10 to a showing of it this weekend and am wondering if it would be appropriate for her. The rating is PG-13 with the mature discussions contributing to the rating. I understand that nothing graphic is shown, but just wanted to see what the thoughts are of those who have seen it first hand. Thanks!

NorthwestMom Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I saw it with DD11. There are definitely mature themes. There is one story where 2 girls catch a ride on a cart, and one girl jumps off and runs away. The other girl "battles the man with a piece of glass she had hidden in her clothes and defeated him like a superhero". This part of the story is shown as a cartoon. The real truth, which is heavily hinted at but not overtly stated, is that she was raped by that man. I am pretty sure the police are no help to her but I might be forgetting something they did while I was explaining, in whispers, what was going on. I am still glad I took DD to see the movie. It is beautifully done and let her see lives she would not otherwise see. We did talk a lot afterwards about the implied rape and how dangerous it is to take rides with strangers. If your DD is mature for her age it is a good movie to see. If she is still quite childlike, I'd skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
