- Kids in proximity to adult prostitution.
I became interested in the movie after haring the director on KCRW The Business podcast. he is aware of the Hal Roach Our Gang comedies. However he uses the candid naturalism of Our Gang in teh service of a CHILD'S GARDEN OF HORRORS. Anyone who has worked as a K-5 school teacher will be horrified and understand kids with this kind of early bio are very challenged to overcome it after puberty strikes. Sadly, this is high artistic talent, a colorful palette, and better-than-deserved performances in the service of HORROR STORIES ABOUT MODERN CHILDHOOD.
