A little mean-spirited, no?
Kids like Fanning etc. are working kids. I've known many of them. And while their experiences growing up are vastly different than most kids, the majority leave the business to go on to other things. Some stay with it and either fail or succeed. And some get horribly screwed up -- but that percentage is no greater than kids outside the business.

The two child actresses most notorious for having a film like this in their youth (Foster and Brooke Shields) are as well adjusted and accomplished as any in Hollywood history.

"A little mean-spirited, no?"
Perhaps, but Dakota is growing up and becoming involved in "adult activities," seemingly at any cost (regardless of whether or not the end objective is "art"). I have no problem with her other films. But this new direction of hers, though admittedly perhaps but a one-film departure from the norm, is shocking, to say the least.
