"'Teeth' is, more than anything, a coming-of-age story."

Just checking the news from Sundance:
Monday, in one of the festival's first deals, the Weinstein Company signed on to distribute "Teeth," in which a teenager discovers vaginal teeth that emerge when she is attacked.

Director Mitchell Lichtenstein says "Teeth" is, more than anything, a coming-of-age story. "Besides whatever other element it has, it's about a girl growing up and learning to accept her fate"....
Now, now. Don't confuse art movies for the elite with sleazy movies for bad people. It's a coming of age film.
Other films that include references to sex this year include "Zoo," a documentary about a man who died having sex with a horse. Here, the incident became a means of exploring universal human emotions, like loneliness.
How about the universal human emotion of bullshit detection?
