It's a family-story with all the restrictions in a typical Bavarian Fassbinder-family. Eva Matthes is the daughter in her puberty who wants to explore sexuality. Harry Baer is the young Romeo. But as always with Fassbinder the people surrounding the two - parents - are enemies of the relationship. (IMDB Comments)

Probably would have worked a little better if Mattes really looked 14, but this is a great Fassbinder movie. When Hanni and Franz's fling is discovered, all relationships are torn asunder - their own, Hanni's with her parents, even her parents among themselves. Fassbinder shows his capacity to create high complex conundrums with some very basic materials. "Jail Bait" paid the price for being such a daring film by becoming one of Fassbinder's rarer and lesser-watched gems.
