“The Tale” is based on the sexual abuse that filmmaker Jennifer Fox experienced as a 13-year-old girl in 1973. The abuse began at a rural horse riding camp by a coach. One of the owners of the riding school, a woman, is complicit in the abuse.
Hollywood, for some reason, thought they needed to recreate the sex between a grown man and a child in far too graphic scenes when they could have just implied them.
HBO is airing this movie currently.
Do you think this scene adds to the horrific nature of this true story or does it go too far?
