A triumph of minor-key storytelling.

It's a familiar story that's handled with delicacy in places, yet lacks some much-needed intensity.

[A] subtle, culturally incisive coming-of-age film.

I can't think of another movie that articulates the conflicts in its young heroine's life as intelligently, consistently, and subtly as this one does, while eschewing snark or exaggeration.

Reel Film Reviews

...a typically French drama that wears out its welcome almost immediately.

Rated: 2/4

Typical Frenchie formula: An unbending female protagonist + A screenplay filled with non-stop dialogue + A very obscure message.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
