Review of Towelhead (2008) by Vince K — 21 Jun 2009
Is the girl in this movie actually 13? Because Aaron Eckhart molests the shit out of her. He grabs her breasts and fingers her. Did they use a body double or was the actress really 18? OK, now that the pedophile business is out of the way, this actually is a great movie.
It's written and directed by Alan Ball, creator of True Blood and Six Feet Under; and he always does astounding work. Some of the film is hard to watch, but that's because it's being very realistic.
It's the perfect portrait of what a 13-year-old girl going through puberty experiences. It couldn't have been done better. Nothing is Private is a better title though, Towelhead is pretty racist.
