    Back to the Future (1985):

    Hard-hitting drama that uses a time-travel conceit to explore familial power relations and the tragedy of desire.

    Teenager Martina McFly (Kristen Stewart) lives a carefree life, skipping school and hanging around with her eccentric inventor friend Dr. Emma Brown (Meryl Streep) and her dog Curie.
    After the Doc gives Martina a demonstration of her new time-travelling DeLorean, Martina finds herself in 1955, and attempting to ensure her parents fall in love in order to ensure her own existence!
    But as soon as her quest has begun, she begins to doubt whether bringing her parents together is the right thing to do. Contrasting her father's confident, at times aggressive sexuality with her mother's shy bookishness, she questions if they're truly right for each other.
    Of more concern, however, is her father's clear interest in her! Naturally not recognising his yet-to-be born daughter, he makes continued sexual advances towards her, ignoring her obvious discomfort and lack of attraction to him. This culminates in a horrific moment of sexual assault in her father's car, after which a traumatised Martina flees to the 20th century. Now unable to face her family, she must grapple not only with the nature of her parents' relationship, but of her own relationship with her father, and the existential question of whether or not she even wants to exist.
    As she and the Doc bond and forge new ties, Martina must decide if she wants to forge a new future with her alternative family of the Doc and Curie, or if she wants to go back to the future she'd always expected with her biological family.

    13 going on 30 and Freaky Friday weren't particularly controversial.

    Did a minor have sex with an adult in either of them?
