Review of The Notorious Bettie Page

I give this movie a 6 out of 10. I thought that Gretchen Mol was a good choice for Page and she played her well. However, I don't like how Mary Haron and Guinevere Turner made Page out to be an idiot. I find it hard to believe Page was so incredibly naive. Page seemed oblivious to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. The movie in the beginning alludes to Betty getting raped by her father as a child. However, I think the writers did not peel beneath the surface enough. Then they show Betty about to get gang raped. Again, not saying we needed to see the rape. However, we NEEDED to know how Betty felt a about that traumatic EXPERIENCE. This is my complaint there wasn't e enough TRUTH shown in the film. And the scene with the black photographer was he Betty's lover? Who was he? The movie didn't SHOW ME ENOUGH. I want to SEE the movie and I felt like I was being TOLD. The movie seemed to PUSH the image and message that Betty Page is a nice sweet Southern Girl that got into taking nude photos/pornography and making S&M films. We know Page is not a bad person. However, the filmmakers seemed too TIMID to me, they held back and that HURT THE FILM.
