    ★ 6/10

    Spoiler Alert! I didn't like the story, not that it was bad, I just don't like when children are prey for pedophiles, which occurs in this story. Luli wants a baby brother and instead, her parents leave her almost all the guys in the movie start sexually assaulting her, and to make matters worse she starts to be manipulated by a psychopath who is also a pedophile. Actors, music, and others good.
