Writer's note: IMDB needs to make zero, a rating. Pronto.
First, the filmmakers came for the farmers. Then, they came for our women. Now, they've come for our children. Leave us alone!
Repeat Shoe is a disgusting attempt at filmmaking disguised as a Yogi Babu comedy. Even the comedy is flat. At least Gurkha had one or two funny lines (and let's be honest, Undertaker was awesome) but in Repeat Shoe, the entire film is tone deaf. What is the central theme of this film? Some little girls (as little as 9 or 10 years old) are being sold as sex slaves! A young girl lives with her alcoholic cobbler of a father who openly states that he killed her mother. Two scenes later, the father sells his child as well. Father of the Year, ladies and gentlemen.
Filmmakers and supporters of these filmmakers/films will immediately jump to their defense stating that they are simply reflecting real life stories. In that case, I'd like to ask, why can't you make a documentary about these girls that are being trafficked? Did you really have to direct a movie where a little girl is pushed into a room with an old man? Does the little girl even know what's happening in the scene? This movie is just morally wrong.
Now, we come to the execution. The film runs for less than 2 hours but it's actually runtime is about 30-40 minutes. Every scene is stretched way past the point of no return that almost everything in the film just feels unnecessary. If you don't have a story for at least 90-100 minutes, don't make the gosh darn movie!
I can go on and on but this movie is just the worst. Let me just leave you with this: if you are depicting sexual assault and/or harassment of minors, stop using little girls in that scene! It's shameful and disgusting that you'd do something like this.
