Concerning the sexual scenes and their effect...

What's the percentage of pre-teens who have similar sexual experiences to Sam and Suzy? I'm not saying it doesn't exist but isn't it generally a bit premature for a girl that age to invite a boy to touch her breasts and to say she likes his erect penis, and for him to have her sit for nude paintings (which is implied)? Again, I'm sure some do a lot of things at that age, but how many really? I think for the majority of the audience these scenes may have been a little unpleasant to watch (even if many wouldn't admit it) - or at least, they took a little bit away from relatability and ability to identify with the characters.

Last watched: Cabaret (8.5/10), The Butler (4/10),

"To the pure, all things are pure."

If your heart is pure, I don't think the scene will much bother you. You will be able to shrug your shoulders and move on. Take it for what it is. The child actors know they didn't really do that in real life. They were reading lines for a movie. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
