I didn't really know anything about Brooke Shields before watching Pretty Baby. Although the primary topic is how Brooke was exploited, Pretty Baby is able to not feel exploitative due to Brooke's participation in the series. She has control and influence on how her story is told, and the result is a shocking and upsetting look into her life growing up as a child star.
