I tried to watch it to make sure it wasn't being overhyped. Nope, not overblown in the slightest. I had to turn it off 20 min in and cancelled my netflix while letting them know why.
I think we need to play the lefts side to win this one. Instead of complaining about the obvious check of child sexual exploitation, we should talk about why this movie says muslims are so wrong in their belieifs that they drive their daughter away.
I did the same. As bad as the dancing was, the camera work was gut wrenching. The camera focused a lot of attention on the girls public areas, chests and butts. I had to turn it off quickly so I don't know the story, but even if it has a critical message about exploiting young girls as they claim, there is no reason for the camera to be focused where it was. Nobody can convince me this wasn't made for pedophiles.
