I appreciate this movie for its careful consideration of the evolution of Bella's thoughts and feelings, and her clear seperation of her past life and current as the movie progresses. The sets and costume designs are gorgeous. The very beginning of the movie had me hopeful.
That being said, I am uncomfortable with how the sexual encounters worked, and how frequent they were considering Bella was technically underdeveloped during most of them. It rubbed me the wrong way. Sexual exploration is normal, of course, but this felt like exploitation.
I watched it all the way through, and I regret doing so. I guess I thought it would improve. I don't like the feeling of disgust I've been left with.
