  Pretty Baby 1978

  ★★½ Watched by Philip Abernethy 02 Apr 2018 4

  I thought child porn was completely illegal?

  Good production design and cinematography, but I can't square it morally. I don't believe a 12 year old actress agreeing to it can count as consent. 

  It's not the subject matter per se, indeed child prostitution was not as reviled as it is now but that doesn't mean you have to include scenes for peadophiles to use as a masturbatory aid.
