Review of On the Doll

On the Doll (2007)
6/10
A Hard Watch About The Darker Sides of Society
19 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, so this obviously isn't a movie for everyone as it deals with the darkest aspects of modern society such as Sex\human trafficking's, Sex workers/prostitution, child pornography, and perverted teachers. With that being said, this film is kind of a mixed bag. In places, the film feels a bit rushed, and the acting is a bit wooden. However, I can't imagine it had much of a budget to work with. Other than Brittany Snow, the rest of the cast is meh. Even Brittany Snow feels slightly wasted as she is only in a few scenes, and her character's motivation is a little unclear. This is primarily due to the fact this film has too many characters, all of whom are one dimensional. The ending also feels rushed and unearned. Nevertheless, the film does raise some interesting questions about our current culture, such as do Sex workers have rights? Also, it touches lightly upon victim-blaming and rape culture. (If you've seen the film, that perv got what he deserved). I can certainly see why some would hate it. In the end, this movie is nothing special, but if you have the stomach for it, I would definitely recommend watching it. (Spoiler )If for nothing else, then to see Brittany Snow freak out while repeatedly punching a pervert.
