      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times This is a movie where attention is given to the lives of the characters, not the flourishes of the director. And it is a very subtle film, as we gradually begin to see, through Marie's eyes and our own, the undercurrents in the adult world around [her]. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Bruce McCabe Boston Globe With L'Adolescente, an evocative portrait of the coming of age of an adolescent girl in pre-World War II France, Jeanne Moreau, the former international film star, establishes herself as a director to be reckoned with. Apr 27, 2018 Full Review Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) So solemn, so filled with good intentions, and so intent on showing the beautiful, lyrical side of life that it ends up lifeless.

      Audience Member I think this encyclopedia benefits me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Whilst Jeanne Moreau will always be considered one of the Grande Dames of cinema, her small directoral output it seems has been overlooked. This gentle coming of age drama however, starring that other great French actress, Simone Signoret, may have slight flaws but is well worth watching just to see another side of Moreau's talent.
