Mignonnes (2020)
I Decided Not to Judge Until I Watched
I just finished watching the film in its entirety. Outside of the dance scenes, this is an incredible film. The acting was amazing and the story was very compelling. I empathize with Amy and her friends. My heart broke for her mother's struggles. The cautionary theme surrounding the effects of technology and social media on pre-teens was on-point.
That said, the dance scenes were downright stomach churning and, in my opinion, did not need to be anywhere near as graphic as they were to support the plot. I'm not going to pretend that pre-teen children aren't beginning to discover their sexuality at this age. It's a natural part of life and, in an appropriate fashion, is reasonable to address in a coming-of-age story. But to have child actresses dance more provocatively than many women in music videos crossed the line and ruined the film for me.
Demon House (2019)
Ghostfacers
This "documentary" played like an eposode of 'Ghostfacers' from the show Supernatural. I remember seeing this house on the news in 2012 so I was intrigued, but the whole thing was so forced and contrived that it was painful to watch
