Toys Are Not For Children (1972) - Stanley H. Brassloff

Toys Are Not For
Children's psychological analysis of a young woman who mentally never grown up isn't exactly a highly intellectual examination, rather opting for the blunt,
one-dimensional justification which works more than it doesn't.  The film paints the picture of a young woman whose penchant for toys, naive mindset, and warped sexual psychology stem from having an incredibly overbearing mother who essentially refused the young girl all contact with her father.   What's kinda impressive about this film, in a demented way, is how even though it has barely any nudity or violence at all, it's an incredibly filthy, sleazy film that really get's under your skin.  The most interesting aspects of the film, without question, are the flashback sequences which our young impressionable woman has from time-to-time.  These scenes do a good job of getting us into this girls psyche, with some of the flashbacks giving us insights into how she relates her current
situations with those from her past.  From the opening sequence, where the young girl plays with herself while saying "daddy, daddy", you kinda know what type of film this is and whether you want to bother experiencing it.  It's not great by
any means, consisting of a rather 1-dimensional justification for our characters warped sexual psychology, but it has some memorable sequences and moments throughout, unashamed to go all out in its beliefs.
7/10
