cristobal s Very impresive film about the sexlife of a young teenager Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s The Holy Girl is an odd but intriguing Argentinian film directed by Lucrecia Martel. Amalia is a young girl and devout Christian, waiting patiently for God to provide her with guidance on how to live her life. She lives with her mother in a hotel where a medical convention is being held and ultimately becomes engaged in a nebulous relationship with a visiting doctor. Martel allows the majority of the scenes to play out in front of an Ozu-like stationary camera – no pans, no zooms, no tracking or crane shots – which may be off-putting to some viewers. Despite an ending that some may find vague or confusing, it is an interesting character study of a girl coming to terms with her faith and her sexuality, as well as a doctor coming to terms with his actions. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was useless... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Devout religious girl finds holy purpose in the interest of a lecherous doctor who enjoys rubbing himself against her clothed bum in public and running away when she turns. Some may find it boring because it generally projects the subtleties of human relationships rather than having them unrealistically conform to a melodramatic arc. Not to say this piece isn't melodramatic, as at times it drips. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty mundane take on the catholic-schoolgirl-discovers-sexuality genre. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member An intelligent film. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
