but this is the only one who think Chloë was been sexualized.


That's not true, but before I get into that, were you aware that her character was supposed to be overtly sexual? Because I heard nothing about it in all the months leading up to the release of the movie. Chloe certainly never said anything about it.

There was a video review I saw yesterday that expressed that Chloe's character was creepily sexual. Unfortunately, I can't find it at the moment.

And here are just a few I've run into:

This review refers to her "sex avatar" in the film.

This one refers to the "slutty daughter" Carolyn:

Moretz's saucy, over-sexual teenager Carolyn Collins

This is from someone's Facebook review. Sue Lyon was "Lolita" for anyone who doesn't know.

Depp walked a thin line between a nod to the original and a creation of his own and Chloe Moretz turned Carolyn Stoddard from a whining brat to the steamiest pre-vixen since Sue Lyon.

This one refers to her "Lolita-like allure" and says it as a compliment:

Hick is going to cause a freaking meltdown on this forum.

If it's too much for you guys, fine, but a 15 year old is not some asexual being and I'm happy that she and her family isn't afraid of touching on this. She shouldn't be pushed into doing anything but if she is deemed ready for it by both her family, directors and herself... Then I will have no problem with her picking up more mature roles, no matter what the critics says, remember many even saying hit-girl was sexualized which I certainly don't agree with.

Yeah, lighten up people, they're roles and nothing more. As I've mentioned previously, I could not care less what someone else thinks of the movie or a particular role, only what I think.

For all the reviews talking crap about how "sexualised" it is, there's another praising her performance. It's a shame some people would rather focus on the former.

I'm not going to see this movie. It's too mainstream for me.

Just kidding. I've got tickets for tomorrow at 2 :)

I don't know when I'll check it out actually, other than Chloe being in it I'm not all that interested. I'm off work Mon/Tue next week though, so I may give it a look then.

You have to find time soon, so we can get your review and take on Chloë's part :)

OK. I saw it today, and there was absolutely NOTHING 'sexual' about Chloë's performance. So I don't know what that critic was talking about. She didn't act 'slutty' in any way. Maybe it was just some creepy critic who pervs on here after every performance, no matter what she does or what she wears. Some people! :roll:

Watch Twitter traffic, Mr. Bubbles. It ain't one critic.
