    There’s too much thematic repetition in the second episode, but this is an absorbing profile, with unexpected interviewees (Laura Linney has been a friend since childhood). It leaves you rooting for Brooke: the child she was and the woman she became.

    The end result is a complicated portrait not just of a pretty face but of a deeply resilient spirit.

    Where Pretty Baby really shines is in the theoretical framing brought on by authors, journalists, lecturers, and sociologists. Names like Meenakshi Durham, Scaachi Koul, and Jean Kilbourne – author of The Lolita Effect, Senior Culture Writer at Buzzfeed, and media literacy lecturer, respectively – turn the whirlwind life of a child star into a case study for women’s position within the western patriarchal society, further twisted by the visual power of the last century’s consumerist turn.
