...movie (which, ludicrously enough, is being released as a Valentine Day's bonbon) never really answers that question. Seems she just had a lot of growing up to do - and a lot more besides. The film also suffers from its flawed central plot device: that story the daddy tells his little girl. It's sanitized, of course - all sexual components cleansed - but even so it is discomfiting.

Kurt Westergaard, cartoonist for the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, after Danish police arrested three men in an alleged plot to kill him over his 2005 cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad that triggered riots around the world...

It was these caricatures, commissioned by Jyllands-Posten to fuel a debate on freedom of expression, that caused Muslims worldwide to burn Danish flags and embassies and boycott Danish produce. It became...
...republication by Danish media of the caricatures was a gesture of solidarity with the artist, who had been warned against the plot by the police and moved to a safe hiding place already in November last year. "Yesterday's arrest of three people who, according to PET, were planning to kill one of the cartoonists, Kurt Westergaard, is deeply shocking and disturbing. It shows that there are presumably Islamic fanatics who are willing to make a reality of the threats and who respect neither freedom of speech nor the law," wrote national daily Politiken in its editorial. Politiken was among...
