Review of Gardens of the Night (2008) by Katarina I — 27 Feb 2012

So difficult to watch. I had nightmares... The movie was well made, and the subject matter seemed to be covered quite tastefully considering... but this is definitely not a feel good movie ... you get an inside look at child prostitution that is a little too real.

The idea that this is going on somewhere in the world right now and I can't do anything to stop it is so devastating to even think about. It's an unfortunate reality that parents have to teach their children about these kinds of dangers.

.. The things you wish your children never had to know about are dangerous for them not to.... what's so disturbing is that this movie really highlights the fact that pedophiles don't look or act a certain way .

.. they could be anyone .... even someone you know and trust like a judge, or a friendly "neighbour" looking for their pet...
