TL;DR Summary

The documentary "Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields" directed by Lana Wilson explores the life of Brooke Shields, who played a child whose virginity was auctioned off in the 1978 Louis Malle drama "Pretty Baby" at the age of 11. The film delves into the culture that shaped Shields and the Hollywood exploitation she faced as a child star. The documentary's most absorbing ingredient is its excellent collage of archival footage, which builds a mood of reminiscence gone rancid and suggests a generation of women transformed by the prototypes society boxed them into.
