| I recently took my 11-year-old daughter to see the film. I expected little and was rewarded with such.
When she asked me what I thought about it, I said that I could appreciate just how well it was crafted to appeal to tween girls. In the context of the film, vampirism is clearly a proxy for budding sexuality. Quoth my daughter: "Yeah, I have a crush on him but have no idea what to do about it". Might as well get bitten sensually, I guess. |
