This is a true story. It's not pedophilia or anti-Semitic.

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021

Some reviews claim this film is nothing but glorifying pedophilia.

The age of consent in the UK is 16. If you live in a state in the US where the age of consent is 18, you may consider it abhorrent but it is perfectly acceptable in the UK. And this is a UK film. So please don't judge a film made in a different culture with different norms against yours.

Furthermore, this film is based on the memoir of Lynn Barber. In real life, the man she was involved with was Jewish. Those reviews calling out this movie for anti-Semitism need to understand this is a true story and that just happened to be the man's faith.

This is PEDOPHILIA!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2021

This is not a "coming of age" story as the details promote. This is straight up pedophilia. And it's Hollywood trying to normalized it. The girl is 16, the man is mid 30's and into kink. But of course they "soften" it and try to make it look funny or goofy. Call it what it actually is... Pedophilia - sexual feelings directed toward children. Come on Amazon, you cancel movies and books that "go against your ethics" all the time. This should be one of them. No matter how many beautiful actors you get in a film, or how pretty the details are written, it's still pure evil. Unable to give it a minus 5 star rating but that's what this is. Pure Evil.

great acting, complex story.

Better to be educated by a movie than by real life experiences…in this case, at least.
