Comparison with F*u*cking Amal

the cuter one of the 2 who *supposedly like each other" is a little b*tch in both movies & the one who completely falls for them should have moved on a long time ago as i had thought

both seem to be about the coming out of young girls but both fail as lesbian love stories but who knows? maybe they weren't meant to be

both have the quiet introverted type girl who has to watch the other little b*tch play with the other girl's emotions and flirt,date and/or have sex with guys in front of their faces instead of being with the girl who are head over heels obsessed with them

i can't really think of much else atm, these 2 and Bloomington were my least fav lesbian related movies i've saw so far, they all had a few moments i liked but they all failed at a lesbian love story and created the least amount of emotion out of me

I always seen Water lilies as the darker cousin to Fucking Amal, what I mean imagine FA if that story had Agnes going a little dark and stalky and Elin been a bit of tease and not giving a damn about Agnes. Fucking Amal is the brighter version and Water Lilies the darker version. Both would make a great double bill.

The leads been teens and Lesbianism that's all they really have in common. Two talented Director/Writers as well. Water Lilies has another subplot with Marie's friend, while Fucking Amal is all about Elin and Agnes. I prefer Fucking Amal as I do consider it one of the best films of the 90's, while I admire Water Lilies I think Celine Sciamma has done better work (Tomboy and Girlhood are better films imo). But it's always great to see the awesome Adele Haenel in a early role, she's the modern day Isabelle Huppert.
