After watching The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Cop Car, it's safe to say that audiences will be pretty disturbed by the adult content. Diary has a good haul of sex scenes and nudity while Cop Car features plenty of violence and gun play. But sex and violence don't make these newly released indie films difficult to watch--it's the child protagonists that audiences will have a hard time digesting .

The Diary of a Teenage Girl stars Bel Powley as Minnie, a 15-year-old girl who's having an affair with her mother's boyfriend (Alexander Skarsgaard). Skarsgaard's character is significantly older than Minnie, but gives in to the temptation of her flirty ways. Minnie's no angle, as we watch her navigate drinking, drugs and an serious dose of promiscuity.

Audiences will want to check this movie out for a few reasons: A big one being Kristen Wiig as Minnie's mother. This isn't Saturday Night Live and Bridesmaids. Wiig plays a neglectful and unstable parent who drinks with gusto and does drugs in front of her daughter. While, Skarsgaard takes a different path since his iconic role as Eric on True Blood, this character is creepy, but not in the attractive, brooding kind of way.

The movie is a journey of artistic scenery and unique special effects, as Minnie heads down a frightening path. Enticingly, her character is far from vulnerable. She's just a curious girl on a dangerous path towards adulthood without anyone stopping her or waving a red flag. She freely shares how she feels about her body, her art and her sexuality without typical teenage confusion. The moral compass of a teenager is directed by hormones. If "boys will be boys," then director Marielle Heller is clear in her message that "girls will be girls" and don't have to be ashamed of their budding sexuality.

Parents take heed: Cop Car also shows the danger kids get themselves into when adult supervision wanes. This film centers around two boys who find an abandoned police vehicle in the woods and decide to take it for a joy ride. The car belongs to Sheriff Kretzer (Kevin Bacon) who goes on a hunt to reclaim it with crazy mishaps along the way.

The chilling tale highlights a nasty game. Bacon has his own personal agenda to deal with even before the kids get in his way. The sheriff is on a rampage as a dirty cop, then an unfortunate incident occurs leaving us to ask: Who's the bad guy here? The story leads us on a tumultuous journey, filled with injury, death and ignorance.

In both films, it's all fun and games until reality dawns.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Cop Car hit theaters on Friday, August 7.
