Decent drama and controversial for obvious reason. I can see this story holding a lot of truth, as kids become the product of their environment and the realism is high. The setting looks really good. Pushed to give it a 6 as I didn't really find it to my taste but its well made.

Compelling look at a slice of life at the end of an era in a particularly unique place and time in history, yet lacking in the depth and complexity a story like this really requires. I really liked Frances Faye as the old madam and would have liked to see her have a reason to sing. Despite the shallow writing, Brook Shields' performance really is well above her age and she is really amazing in her portrayal. While the subject matter is disturbing, there is a realism to the family-like atmosphere of the brothel that is as cozy as she is innocent in her mimicking of the way whores charm men.

An uncomfortable watch . Brooke Shields mother should be ashamed of herself. How on earth did she allow her 12 year old daughter to do this movie. Shocking

So.... why one star? Because, honestly, it's boring. It kind of does to New Orleans' red-light district what Reds did to John Reed.... sucked all the excitement out of the story in an effort to make it artistic.

It's well acted, but it's weak on plot, weak on story, weak on entertainment.... but, More
