Powerful

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I watched this film and it provides a premise of pedophilia as a sexuality rather than an illness. It wants acceptance in mainstream society of pedophilia, rather than intense medical treatment.Let's get this straight - some true facts about this issue; 1.Paedophiles are those interested in prepubescent children 2. Child Molesters are those interested in pubescent children. Both of these categories are composed entirely of under age children, not capable of consenting to any type of sexual relationship.Paedophiles have a choice to act out their sexual perversions on children, or to not act out. This film wants people to 'open their minds' to the fact that pedophilia was happening back in ancient Greek times and not considered odd or wrong, so why is it now? {In ancient Greek times, older men would have a relationship with younger men in the form of a mentor-ship. This mentor relationship often had sexual activity involved. To the ancient Greeks, prepubescent boys were off limits}I would like to address this - Humans evolve over time and we now know, without a shadow of a doubt, pedophilia damages children. It damages children, families, communities and society as a whole. It ruins lives - abilities to have relationships with self and others, intimate relationships with friends, partners and children.While I do not dispute the rarest possibility of non-active pedophiles, who do not act out, I have no doubts about the abhorrence of child rape perpetrated by active pedophiles.The film talks about shame caused by societies views of pedophiles. It IS a shameful act. Raping children is shameful full stop. A pedophile who is not raping a child, yet uses media (photos, video, Internet) to observe young children in sexual acts - or indeed sits around parks/schools where young children congregate in order to gain some stimulation for private sexual gratification - is, actually, an active pedophile who is acting out. Children are entitled to be free from sexual objectification. A pedophile sitting on a bench in a park, as one does in this film, watching children walking by in uniforms and such, stating he does not 'act out' on his feelings, is being untruthful. As said above, deliberately sitting in a public place, at times when children are particularly known to be present, (or a children's park/playground etc) IS 'acting out'.This film reminds me of the group NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Association) which promotes pedophilia, lowering of age limits and believes children have an ability to make decisions appropriately regarding older adults sexually penetrating them.It is now common knowledge that the human brain does not fully develop it's fear and cognitive abilities until around the age of 25 years old.No child is able to determine and decide for themselves, to have a sexual relationship with an adult.This film, in my opinion is nothing short of trying to normalize pedophilia and make it acceptable in society. Trying to liken it to homosexuality and not the heinous crime it actually is. Paedophilia is an illness, whether a person acts on it or not and needs to be treated as such. There may be some people who watch this and fall for the bull%^&t contained within - no matter how you dress it up, pedophilia is still child rape and abuse. This includes the support, exchange and creation of child pornography, sexual objectification of minors while they are carrying on their normal days and anything else which violates their sovereign selves.I completely give this film a 20,000 thumbs down.I am an informed person regarding pedophilia and I find films such as these quite frightening, as they have the power to influence the minds of those not so informed and those vulnerable to manipulation.If by chance any children read these reviews - If someone older than you is asking you to do things that involve your private areas or their private areas, please tell someone- these people are sick and very dangerous. Tell someone you feel safe with. Tell your parents, or a policeman or policewoman, or a teacher at your school, or your doctor. No matter what, keep telling people what is going on until someone helps you. It is NOT your fault. You are NOT bad. You did NOTHING wrong. You do NOT deserve to be hurt. You DO deserve to be listened to and believed. You ARE important. You DO matter. *hug*Addendum Feb 2017: The clarification of differences between pedophiles and child molesters can be extremely confusing. Please visit the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault. This site has links to information regarding these topics and definitions. Another site, with clinical study results is the Child Molestation Prevention .org website.

This film attempts to make excuses for pedophiles and tries to justify the illness by claiming it's "instinctive". Incredibly heteronormative, especially in the end when there's a whole montage about love not seeing age, race, etc but makes no mention of other genders. The reason I watched this is because the title card has a picture of a girl in Lolita fashion. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, or has just thought of the book of the same name: Lolita fashion is a Japanese street fashion inspired by the frilly and feminine styles of the Victorian and Rococo eras. The main focus of the style is a careful coordination of elegance and cuteness. Although it can appear as somewhat childish, it is not about the infantilization of woman nor is it even remotely done for men's approval. The representation of Lolita is short in the film, but it's very clear that the creators DID NOT do their research on the fashion. In conclusion, this film is lazy, gross, and creepy. It's obvious that the creators couldn't be bothered to do much research and as a result they really miss out on a chance to tell the important story.

This is a not very well made and thinly disguised attempt to push the idea that having sex with children is acceptable. It is rather reminiscent of the Chariot of the Gods type of thing. It uses facts ( or ideas) plucked out of a great variety of unrelated cultures and presents them as somehow convincing proof that sex with kids is quite okay. Two clichés introduced are that Mary, mother of Jesus was 12 or 15 when she had the baby Jesus. There is really no discussion of this it s just put there as if it is persuasive. Then we hear about Mohammed and Aisha. Again there is absolutely no context given. It s even mentioned where or when they lived and no discussion of their relationship. It is just stated that she was nine. Jews aren't spared. The age for bar mizvah and bat mizvah are stated as if they have significance in this context. But I kind of doubt that lots of Jews consider 12 year old girls as legitimate sexual partners. The rest of it is just as bad. They have a modeling agency executive made unsupported claims such as " everyone wants to be a model". I don't know none who has that aspiration. However since the message is unsavoury and a bit hamfisted anyway, this doesn't really detract from the attempt to persuade. We hear about Greek man bit relationships and then, very oddly, they state as if it is a known fact that institutions such as the church in centuries past included sexual rituals between adults and children. I teach medieval history and I have no idea what they were talking about. Lots of "facts" are stated but without any evidence at all. For example it is supposedly common knowledge that most men prefer 16 year old girls no matter how old they themselves are. Sounds fishy. Maybe the people who made this strange film move in Different circles from the rest of us. Fortunately this is a short film so it was over before it got too prurient. I cannot call it a documentary as It is not at all factual or objective. It is more of a commercial for child sex. It's one of the most distasteful films I've seen and I'd suggest skipping it unless this is a topic that you find titillating. It does contain some stories about perverse acts that include sexual details. Their agenda is explicit only at the end of the film. They say " 18 is just an age" and " all sex should be consensual NO MATTER WHAT THE AGE". They don't Even bother to discuss the fact that kids cannot give informed consent.

What is the difference between normal, healthy men and pedophiles? According to this documentary, as men age, their desires expand but do not simply change. They claim this is connected to the Stone Age, and the age people mated then. They also throw in Greek pederasty and how sexuality has changed through the lens of society.Some issues are brought up, like the different maturity ages for men and women. We learn that Western society stigmatizes men who are attracted to young women while simultaneously promoting teen girls in the fashion industry and the media. We learn of lolicon.Most striking is the claim that men today are afraid of touching children, including even showing affection towards their own children. The "pedophile" label has become so widespread that men fear it.The film as a whole is rough, and at times not as authoritative as it could be. This is a topic that ought to be addressed again, perhaps with more studies. Trying to sort fact from opinion in this one is tough.
