First off, the movie does not "normalize pedophilia" in any way shape or form.
Yes, it is implied that the 1st owner of this robot uses it for sex, and it appears to be designed to accommodate that purpose. Good. It's not my cup of tea, but it's great that a real child isn't being abused. I give the film credit for even approaching this controversial subject, as modern sex dolls are about the only preventative measure that actually has the potential of protecting children. Yet others would prefer that we all scream about "normalizing pedophilia" go back to doing absolutely nothing to prevent real child abuse from occurring. Blind hatred of those with minor attractions has never protected any child.
As for solid reasons not to like this movie: the pacing is the so slow that the entire film could be shorted to 30 minutes without loosing much of anything. It is confusing with nothing explained, and the ending is sad.
