4.0 out of 5 stars wow, July 4, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Art for Teachers of Children [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jennifer Montgomery's controversial, bravely autobiographical film takes a disquietingly original slant on underage sex. A 14-year-old starts an affair with her dorm counselor, who's into photographing his students in the nude. It's a relationship that won't stand still for parental interference or even investigation by the FBI, some years later. The director's deadpan, seemingly objective style downplays the outre subject matter and leaves the viewer to decide what is meant by the age of consent. "Sexually frank...startling"

2.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing, poor quality, October 22, 2004

This review is from: Art for Teachers of Children [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The loose format reminded me of Blair Witch. The film was choppy and the sound quality was horrible. I wish I would have noticed that it is black and white before I purchased it.

The movie opens with a few photos of adolescent girls, including one with a clear genital shot bordering on pornographic. The main character is a 14-year old girl portrayed by an actress clearly over 18. The only thing immature about this girl is her acting ability and the script.

My girlfriend thought the movie accurately portrayed the insecurity and lack of self-confidence most 14 year old girls feel about themselves and there bodies. Maybe if the actress at least appeared to be 14? Maybe not.

Compelling and unsettling story. One gets the feeling that Montgomery reveals only about 80% of her thinking, possibly because she hasn't formed final opinions yet.
