Sex & Nudity

  • The film is about preteen girl Violetta's mother grooming, coercing, and bribing her into posing for increasingly explicit erotic photographs. Violetta experiences inappropriate behavior by adults.
  • Violetta is seen several times in bra and panties. Makeup and costumes for photography give her a more adult appearance; the bottoms of some of the costumes cover no more of her butt than a thong would. The film shows no other live nudity of Violetta, but dialog makes clear that the photos her mother is taking expose the girl's breasts and genitals.
  • Adult women show full frontal and rear nudity several times while posing and in other non-sexual situations.
  • The film makes clear that Violetta is unhappy with these circumstances and with the photography in particular. See spoilers below.
  • Dialog refers to an incestuous rape that took place decades ago.
  • A pan-away scene suggests the molestation/ sexual assault (it is unclear to what extent) of a minor while intoxicated. Non-graphic, but psychologically disturbing.

Violence & Gore

  • A trickle of blood from a nose, non-violent.
  • A pan-away scene suggests the molestation/ sexual assault (it is unclear to what extent) of a minor while intoxicated. Non-graphic, but psychologically disturbing. The violence of this assault is subtle.

Profanity

  • Occasional name-calling such as "bitch", "slut", and "whore". Two times when Violetta says "Fuck you."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • On separate occasions adults offer Violetta wine and a (crack ?) pipe; she partakes briefly of both.
  • A lot of cigarette smoking by adults, also cigars. Violetta and another preteen smoke a cigarette.
  • Mind altering substances are used in the sexual molestation/ assault of a minor.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A woman dies and is discovered by family members.
  • Many uncomfortable scenes, particularly those where adult men express sexual interest in Violetta.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Adult men make sexually suggestive comments. One of them has Violetta sit on his lap.
  • As the film progresses, Violetta is shown favoring more revealing everyday clothing, such as short-shorts, and wearing makeup more often.
  • "My Little Princess" does not mention filmmaking and gives no specific hint that "Violetta" may soon go on to act in "Maladolescenza."
  • Violetta rejects efforts by her mother to let a man with whom the girl is posing touch her around the breasts.
  • Near the film's end Violetta discovers that a photo of her fully nude has been published on the cover of a magazine. The cover is poorly seen, but the same photo appears as an advertising poster on a wall which is visible for several seconds. Her breasts are hidden by her long hair and detail in the genital area is airbrushed to obscurity.
