Pretty Baby (1978)

Rate: 7
Viewed: 8/13

8/13: First and foremost, the adjective "controversial" is plain and clear when Pretty Baby is viewed.

However, you should set the feeling aside by thinking of it as a period piece that's right out of New Orleans. Honestly, Pretty Baby isn't bad. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much significant to say. Hookers come and go, and Johns come and go. One guy falls in love with a pre-teen girl and marries her. There's nothing enlightening about it.

All in all, Pretty Baby is a solid Louis Malle picture.
