Girl lost

When I saw this movie on amazon, I assumed it was a soft-core porn flick, but then the film starts with the messaged about how teen girls are exploited for sex. that really ruin my high.

The movie tries to cover everything you ever herd about teen prostitution and role it up in one girl, and it becomes a series of adventures in her life. Semi episodic going from one segment to another, but it does help to get the message across.

It is a realistic story about survival trying to be very leveled in telling us what it takes to be a girl in this position.

Yet still, the opening tiled message does help to get me in the tone of the drama this is suppose to be, the movie still kinda feels like a soft-core porn. It never ever gets out of that mood.

For me it does not make this an easier pill to shallow. In fact it does what a work of art should do...it makes me think, about the young girls who go into porn and I've seen at strip clubs and what actually got them there.

So, great film to watch, with a great message, unless your one of those guys who lives at the strip club, than this might mess up your head a little (or at lease I hope it does).

Something that hit me was the way in which the little girl was just bounced around from place to place. She had no stability in her life and no reason to believe that she was able to choose any other path other than the one she saw her own mother take. How sad to know that there are so many like her in the world. The nudity and stuff didn't bother me because I felt it wasn't gratuitous in nature. It felt very natural and like what would happen in reality.

Strange tale of a hooker mother training her teenage daughter to the trade. A mother and daughter live together on their own. They barely make it from motel to motel, month to month. They are always having to compromise to live. It's a bleak story about the life one finds oneself in when one surrounds oneself with drugging and turning tricks. I know it might LOOK like this is a flick about Jessica Taylor Haid's body, but it's more than that.

So sad but true. Could have gone many ways. I had several scenarios in my head but I do like to be surprised by endings

Because it appears that we have a ton of experts in underage prostitution. "So real", "gripping truth", etc. But seriously, it's a dark indie pick that depicts desperate people trying to survive in a way-to-expensive California while never considering moving to somewhere else or doing something else. It does a good job of displaying a white trash attitude and mindset.
