Seriously, people? Seriously? This is probably among the creepiest things I've ever seen in my life. This is a movie about the sexual abuse of a young man with borderline intellectual functioning. If this were a middle-aged man and a developmentally delayed woman in her early 20s it would be obvious how predatory and inappropriate it is, but somehow because it's a man who's being taken advantage of it's supposed to be romantic? Think about her teaching him to read children's books -- because those are what's appropriate to his intellectual and emotional level -- and then having sex with him. It's an appalling betrayal of trust. She could perfectly well have cared for him without becoming sexually involved with him, no matter how hunky he is. Bleagh.
