This film is not about the story on the surface. This film is a commentary on film making and the blurred lines and crosses boundaries that so often accompany telling uncomfortable stories.
The last line of the film gives this away when she says "it's starting to feel real."
When does the line between filmmaking and reality lie? Are we exploiting children by putting them in roles that they are truly too young to be in?
Who is the villain in this story? On the surface it would seem to be Julianne Moore's character. But there is a lot more nuance going on here. From this perspective it is a poignant film with important social commentary.
The music sucks, though.
