Brilliant or utter filth?

OH MY GOD. ADOLESCENT SEXUALITY MUST MEAN PEDOPHILIA.
What the beep is wrong with you? Did you NOT see that Trent didn't want to touch her because he knew that it was wrong, and he respected her and I think he was even slightly disgusted at the thought that she might show him her body?
I hate how anyone who doesn't GET IT automatically jumps on the pedophilia bandwagon. Just shuttup already. You don't get it, it doesn't mean it's a horrible movie. It just means you're kind of stupid.
holiday=holy day.

well I saw it like 2 days ago and it goes like this: devon says 'touch it'. trent's like 'no thanks'. then Devon says something like 'go on' and then he runs his finger down the scar and says 'that's cool'. and then he shows her his scar.

God forbid a child be anything but fully clothed in an artform!
I'll not deny, there is something (quite obvious) about this film that attracts paedophiles, it was one of my girllover friends that introduced me to the film, but is there a problem with that? Topless Mischa in a relatively pointless scene does not make the movie bad - that aside, you do not actually see anything unless you're actively seeking it out.
Whether you can see any depth in it or not, this is a beautiful, very emotional film. I feel it carries a very important message about our society, and your reaction to the movie only validates it. -

well it looked like this discussion was reasonably handled until recent comments. Not filth, but not brilliant either. Sturdy performances all round. A good movie.
I also like the irony of "House of 1000 corpses" branding it filth, with such high moralistic tones. Remind me, what happened in that Rob Zombie flick again?? -

To the previous poster who said it was filthy for depicting a student/teacher realtionship:
The film didn't glorify the teacher/student relationship, it depicted the relationship as seedy, wrong, and the people involved as morally challenged.
Saying this film is seedy for having that relationship in it is like saying Blood Diamond is a disgusting film because it shows that people are hurt in the diamond trade.
When the film maker portrays a situation that does occur in real life it doesn't mean they condone that situation, in fact often, it means the opposite.
