I loved this and loved how easily it all unfolded. Some critics said it lacked something - whether it was Lea’s personality or inner world - but I think any more character development would’ve been unnatural, unrealistic. These critics seem to have forgotten has small one’s world is when they’re only 17.
it lacked the depth of the characters... she has her phone with her while waiting for the rapist but she does not call for help and then she returns to her predator...so unrealistic!
@@Verbsdescribeus i actually think that part was quite realistic for a teenage girl in her position lol
This looks like it will be a powerful and impactful movie depicting what grooming and emotional abuse looks like. More people should be aware of this type of domestic abuse and how it manifests.
the reviews have been great
Yeah, she shouldn't be out at night and shouldn't let anyone know that nobody cares where she's at because human traffickers look for vulnerable victims.
Looks like repetitive garbage
Just a girl following her true womanly nature and embracing whoredom. Most bishes pretend they're virtuous and pure while banging the entire band, then kissing their husbands after.
@@cartergomez5390you’re blaming the victim. No one I to blame for grooming or assault but the criminal predator. PERIOD.
Jonathan Tucker has always been an underrated actor.
why is this same comment on every independent movie trailer vid lol "x actor is such an underrated actor" lol
Finally a movie about grooming that isn't glamorizing it.
This looks so well done. It reminds me of Joyce Carol Oatest "Where are you going, Where have you been?" Relentless and slow burning and ultimately horrific for a reason.
Nicely done. Even the preview gave me the creeps, but the acting looks great.
SPOILER ALERT
I felt so sorry for Lea. The acting was so good it left me f***ed up 😢😢
I think the film was pretty good. The character development was a bit lacking and the film doesn't go that deep, but I think it did a good job of raising the issue of grooming.
It's a slow burn, but it's worth watching.
Great movie, superbly acted. The two main characters are just perfect.
What I appreciate about this trailer is that it isn't glamorizing it. This whole thing makes me so uncomfortable because the age difference is palatable and the gaze/POV between the girl and the man is clear that he is taking advantage and she is vulnerable.
This whole time I thought they were cute together
Yeah it's not about the age difference. It's about how she was naive thinking he loved her. She let a loser her own age cum inside at start of the movie, so it's not about her being innocent or taken advantage of sexually, like sheep Karen's and feminists will pretend. It's about the emotional abuse of being misled. Great acted movie though.
Keen observation! 👏🏽 Totally! He’s shot from under from the scene of him getting up and winking at her to him driving, camera angles is slightly lower than eye line. It’s the opposite with her, cameras pointing slightly downward. She’s small. He’s big and powerful.
1:43 PERFECT way of describing it.
"Run[ning] away"? 🤔
“A scream stuck in my throat.” I felt that during the trailer. Even more during the movie.
@@whosebuilderandmakerisgod
Ahh, okay I see. That's not present when you click the timestamp so OP's confusing.
One especially feels that in the end, in the final moments of the film. The last scenes leading up to, but especially with the last four words in the film.
This movie really pissed me off. The way Tom let’s Leah come to him and doesn’t chase her at all is pretty realistic. To see a kid get exploited and taken advantage of is infuriating.
This movie reminded me of myself at 16. I ran away with a 27 year old and it was the most fucked up situation. He went to jail for something and I met my husband. If that didn't happen who knows how my life would have turned out. Scary!
extremely slow, very raw and real. great acting all around. there is a hue of darkness in the coloring of the film which makes it extremely depressing. ending made me want to scream but thats the reality of grooming, they go back to their abusers
so at the end, do you think she’s gonna meet up with him? sorry i wasn’t able to watch the last scene fully
Finally a trailer without spoilers...
Looks like the great indie movies of the 2000s - double feature with Palo Alto?
Beautiful
The guy should cast as T1000

I don't understand the end please 😢
The end of the film or the end of the trailer? At the end of the movie, Lea gives Tom the slip. For his own safety so that he doesn’t get caught, Tom changes his phone number and leaves town. Lea manages to get ahold of his number from one of his old neighbours. Wen Tom finds out she’s alone, he’s willing to talk to her on the phone. She tells him that she misses him too, implying that he probably told her he missed her. He never sees her again
@@whosebuilderandmakerisgod bullshit he doesn’t see her again
The topic of human trafficking is superficially approached within this movie and it could have been a reference piece for all teenagers and their parents. The fact that a 17 year old falls in love with an older creepy guy who forces her to become a prostitute but she does not escape the room he puts her into even if she has her phone with her, then she gets raped, after she returns to the predator is so unrealistic.........
Creepy
Gotta love that age gap
This movie pissed me off so much
My boy 40 years old dating a 18-year-old Brazilian chyea 😆
It's a mix of "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Lolita" and a bit of "Black Swan". A young innocent woman corrupted by a older experienced man who takes advantage of her heart. The acting looks great too.
@Just be , just be broo Actually the female character here is a minor. It's the adult one who has a responsibility to protect and NOT coerce/manipulate.
@Just be , just be broo Of course 17 year olds aren't stupid. However she's not fully developed and experienced in life. Having a dysfunctional family and not much self esteem doesn't make matters easier either.
@Just be , just be broo misogyny at its best not to mention a skewed perception of how maturity and development affects our decision making.
@@rebelraccoon9018
TBF, most humans _aren't fully_ developed until much later in life, their 🧠 specifically until aged mid-to-late twenties. (Males later than females, typically _years_ later.)
I just don't know if that's a fair argument anymore, including regarding 17-year-olds, most of whom are usually sexually active by then.
🤍
@Just be , just be broo ah yes it’s her fault the thirty four year old man became the only person showering her with positive attention in her life and manipulated her into s3x work. And for the record, 17 yos ARE stupid. Have you ever met one?
Sv3rige brought me here.
same h
Same. I don't know why he'd recommend this movie. Seems like blue-pilled bullshit judging by the comments here.
@@JPazb Noticed it too. Seems like it was a distraction from the news about his (rumored) passing away of his ex Luna. No wonder he blocked the chat option of his group on the exact day.
@@JPazb He probably viewed the movie entirely differently from a normie audience.
He identified as the older guy
Daddy issues
@Just be , just be broo no daddy issues
@@bigt2731
...Which _are_ "Daddy Issues".
@Just be , just be broo being raised without a father still gives you daddy issues. It just means you don’t have a strong, caring, protective paternal figure in your life so you seek it in romantic relationships.
My ex 44 and I’m 26 , it’s doesn’t ended well
That guy looks 30 and girl looks 16
@@J.Biden69 Yes..
@Azrakul Sv3rige
@Azrakul yup
@@appledrink1156 ya I came from him
The characters are supposed to be 34 and 17. The actress has a really good look. She’s 24 but looks 14
It's a bit too much for me.
Have not seen any abuse in the trailer....
Diana was 19 and Charles was 32.
Priscilla was 14 and Elvis was 24. Times change ig.
its not that much of an age gap seriously xx
@@nojakthegemlad is that ok?
They say maturity, generally doesnt take in human brains until about 30. So the guy, post 30, pursues later teen. Not outrageous, but a flag. Then there's some cultural things tough to simplify. Yet the simple point really is..regardless of the maturity of the teen...If someone post 30 or just significantly older pursues teen or younger...It's generally going to be disturbed person pursuing non emotionally formed person. Maybe that's films point. 19 is legal though, true.

Just a few hundred years ago and millions of years before this, her age was normal to start having babies to. Strange how times change.
Do you miss those days?
Thank goodness we’ve come so far in humanity. Millions of years ago it was so rough being a human
