"Kiddie Porn" flick rocks Toronto's film festival.

Entertainment: Ack, unless Roger Friedman has gone crazy, this film sounds terrible with no redeeming value. I will leave out the descriptions because I might end up in search results under some horrible terms.

The worst and most offensive movie I’ve seen in a while has just had three screenings at the kooky Toronto Film Festival. "Nothing Is Private" is written and directed by Alan Ball, the man behind "Six Feet Under" and "American Beauty." But it’s caused outrage here for its graphic depiction of sexual, mental and physical child abuse that verges quite literally on kiddie porn. The movie — so odious that many people have simply walked out during the screenings — shows actor Aaron Eckhart having sex with a 13-year-old girl played by a now 19-year-old actress, Summer Bishil. The actress only turned 19 recently, however, which means that she was just on the cusp of 18 when she made the movie last year. ...."Nothing Is Private" comes within a year of "Hounddog," the film in which a 12-year-old girl (Dakota Fanning) is raped on screen. Of course, in that case it was really a 12-year-old. But something has definitely happened -- a change has occurred in the mindset of filmmakers who no longer see anything wrong with these depictions. How wrong they are. Independent filmmaking is not supposed to be marked by a complete abandonment of taste, sensibility and propriety. I don’t know if "Towelhead" is a good novel or not. But the way it’s been translated to film is certain to gross out even the most cutting-edge audiences. It’s simply unacceptable.

Indie filmmakers want to be edgy and out there. What is there left under than revolting scenarios like this to shoot.
