First off, I do like this movie. The vintage setting..the filmography was beautiful. The film being told from Hubert’s perspective did not paint Lo as the perpetrator through my perception. Lo told her story too. Before he arrived she was dealing with mommy and daddy issues, sexualized behavior, needy, defiant, etc. Unfortunately Hubert preyed upon an already vulnerable, broken child. She told her story by her actions, her dismay for Hubert. The hate from within for the man that took advantage of her. The continuation of the mentally /sexually abused child, next came the child working sex ring she was drawn into, from one predator to the next. Lo’s screaming outrages, manipulative behavior towards Hubert, the crying sessions are all confused, trauma responses. She just didn’t have a chance.
I will say yes, I did also feel for Hubert sadly as it was told through his eyes..but not sorry enough to see the harsh cards dealt to Lo..a little girl.
Oh and the thought of her with the porn guy really made me want to vomit. His full frontal grossness while being shot up, yucky.
