bruce-129 This movie tries to be titillating and provocative, and I suppose it is to a certain degree given just the subject matter, but it is mostly kind of boring because there is no real thread of ideas, a plot or a point.The one thing it does it is give the viewer some information, such as what various terms actually mean and what are their histories as well as what is the age of consent and what is considered normal in other countries across the world.Does not seem to advocated for any particular viewpoint or really explore the subject such as comparing what same age relationships are like versus different age and gender situations. Also seems to ignore feminist issues such as the objectification or commoditization of women, so contrary to a lot of comments here this is not a feminist movie per se, though the facts do lean in a certain way .... as Stephen Colbert quoted reality has a well known liberal bias! ;-)Probably worth watching if you are interested and want to know some facts.5/10

clc9009 First off: The title is just atrocious. Literally anything else would be better. Narration was weird, too. Overall, not horrible though. One of the first (only?) films that tries to address an issue we never talk about. This will be a 100% polarizing film. Some might see it as a pedo apologist documentary. Others might see it as an insight into a dark and disturbing world. It makes you think, however. What are the chances that you know a pedophile? What defines a pedophile? Are *any* of them legitimately sorry that they feel the way they feel? Is it wrong for male homo sapiens to be attracted to females entering/exiting puberty? We aren't as different from other primates as some would like to think. Why is it seemingly so common for men (and women) to abuse children? Why is more research not being done into treatment? Ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away. And the answer is not to neuter every sex offender before you shoot them in the head. Is it a coincidence that Catholic priests are repressed and deprived of adult intimacy and find an outlet in the form of child abuse? Why does basically every religion condone childhood sexuality? It clearly isn't a 21st Century problem only. The film does not even remotely hint about legalizing sexual relations with a "child." It prompts us to consider scientific facts and cultural taboos for understanding why the media has made us all afraid to discuss sexual topics and our "innocent" imagery of anyone under the age of 18.

supesawky I am very upset with the portrayal of Lolita fashion in this documentary. Lolita fashion does not contribute to pedophilia. The name is shared with a novel by Vladimir Nabokov and there is no relation between the novel and the fashion. It is very insulting to say that Japanese Lolita fashion contributes to men's fantasies, especially because most Japanese men HATE the fashion! Girls in Japan keep wearing it probably even more so because of that. Saying that a fashion choice is part of pedophilia is indicative of rape culture and must be stopped. It disgusts me that a photo of a Lolita girl was used as the cover for this mediocre documentary. It's too bad I could not give this documentary less than a 1/10.

djkoz78 I don't review many films on IMDb bc to me it's tedious and time consuming. For me I forget a lot of what I want to write about to begin with. So I'm not a very good writer. I can rate the hell out of something though. Anyways I wanted to come here and write a little about the film and what I thought, but more about what 1 reviewer wrote and rated the movie. This person gave it a 1 out of 10. Why? Because It brought up the Japanese Lolita Fashion or Loliicon and how it is directed at men for underage girls. This reviewer claims that the Lolita Fashion purposefully tries distance itself from any sexuality about underage girls attracting men & maybe it does. Yet the name Lolita is in it's titled a book written by Vladimir Nabokov about a literary professor named Humbert Humbert who is lusting after a young girl of 12 years old named Lo who he nicknames Lolita. Who if I am not mistaken he ends up having a sexual relationship with.Anyways the reviewer clearly based him/her opinion not on what the film was trying to convey, but because this person is clearly a fan of Lolita Fashion. I recommend you watch the documentary for yourself and you decide. Another reviewer said that the creator has an agenda. At first I thought that as well & still do to a degree, but the as the film progressed I see that the lines are not so easily black and white. I see what the creator was trying i think to convey. He was trying to show how the pedophilia hysteria specifically in the west has become outrageous. That the media is spreading so much fear while simultaneously society and the fashion industry is promoting young nubile models in erotic or provocative clothes or poses. And if the underage model shows nudity bc it's in a magazine it's not child porn it's "Artistic". The hysteria and fear has become so ridiculous that laws are being written to arrest children to "protect" them from the pedophiles. Or teenagers sexting each other are being tried as adults for having child pornography on their phones. I had a friend who is married woman who used to babysit her friends 13 year old daughter who was sending sexually explicit photos online to different boys. Now if she hadn't found out and told the girls mother what she was doing and someone found those photos and reported it to the police. Do you think they wouldn't arrest the woman or her husband even though they had nothing to do with it? More so the husband I think. Which is another point the film tries to make. I believe that there is a huge problem and a backlash happening because of this hysteria and fear. Mainly that every single man on the planet earth is a sick and twisted pervert. That we all think about sex and if we can't get it consensually, then we will take it by force. Which simply isn't true. There is a very small percentage of people who are like this. Yet this is what I mainly found interesting. It's a scary issue bc fathers are afraid to show affection, bathe, go to the park alone or change the diapers of their own children for fear of being accused a pedophile. Or men are being barred from entering nurseries even if your a 16 year old boy coming to pick up his siblings or their own children. Boys are being told in school that men are sexual predators and that they might or will in fact grow up to be one themselves. 99% of all teachers are women now bc men just don't want their lives ruined for being accused. How many people have seen some man on the news being accused of being a pedophile yet never hear if he is found not guilty? Because the news only wants you to see him accused and you to hear the guilty verdict, but if he's acquitted not a peep from the news. The film also brings up the glaring double standard about women being sexual predators as well, but are rarely convicted for sexual abuse or even brought to trial. Or if the woman has sex with an underage boy because she's a woman the media uses terms like "relationship". So women get leniency not just from the peers, but from judges as well especially if she's an attractive woman. I believe the film also tries to distinguish the difference between men & women who are attracted to physically and sexually mature girls/boys versus men & women who attracted to prepubescent boys/girls. That if you have ever been attracted to a younger girl/boy 16-17 years old that looks like a man or woman physically then it's not pedophilia it's hebephilia/ephebephilia. That pedophilia is used a wide very general term. The term pedophilia means that a person is attracted to a boy/girl between the ages of 5-13. I don't agree with the entirety of this film b/c I think being attracted to underage girls/boys is wrong, gross, and creepy. I do agree that the media over saturates and perpetuates fear and I think sometimes they do it at the behest of the government. This was a very difficult film to watch but I think people should watch it because where does the hysteria & fear stop? Do we start chemically castrating men? Do we start locking up children to protect them from potential threats or from themselves?
