This film is pretentious.
Wizard of Oz meets a horror movie to discuss the s(REDACTED)xuality of a (REDACTED FOR ARBITRARY REASONS!!!!)aged girl. This is a pretentious art house movie and one that thinks that it is vastly more intelligent than it really is.
It wants to retell the Little Red Riding hood story in a semi-erotic way, but never actually achieves it.
But, at least it's pretty.
