One of the year's best


This is a beautiful movie. As soon as I came out of the movie theater I ordered it. It's delicate, sensitive and respectful to teenage girls and her hormonal turmoil. I think this French 25 year old woman's first feature is a nostalgic smile to grow up. The girls were excellent at their acting and I totally believed everything that happened there. Not a single doubt of "this is too cinema" or "this is Hollywood-like." No way, this was a love poem to reality.

The music is haunting too. Maybe if this was made in the seventies, Vangelis would have composed and performed it.

I agree with you totally. As a matter of fact, after I saw this movie in New York in April, I immediately ordered it from Amazon.Fr, even though it had no subtitles of any kind!
