Alain E Sympa as they say in France. The story has major inexplicable turns. A young virgin high school girl has painful and unsatisfactory intercourse the first time she decides to go “all the way “ while on summer vacation. As a result, her next step is to launch a career as a call girl! Eventually someone dies- not her. Marine Vacth, the ex model who plays the heroine is truly beautiful. The cinematography is much higher than the script. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Rosana B Esse filme nos causa uma série de reflexões, lembra-me muito a autenticidade de Bruna Surfistinha, o olhas feminino sobre sexo, prazer, poder, independência... Vejo meninas, sexualmente ativas e estimuladas, desejando o "proibido", e se satisfazendo, não somente pelo dinheiro, incompreensível para a maioria de nós, mas imagino que um íntimo conturbado entre prazer consciente e a moral do culturalmente aceito, recatada e do lar… Um filme questionador... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review dave s While spending the summer with her family in the south of France, 17-year-old Isabelle (Marine Vacht) loses her virginity to a short-term romantic interest. Jumping ahead a few months, it is revealed that Isabelle is now a high-priced call-girl working under the pseudonym Lea, all while maintaining her studies and keeping the secret from her family. Francois Ozon's Young and Beautiful is a surprisingly tender, if not unorthodox, coming-of-age tale, featuring a strong performance from Vacht and some excellent production values. If there is one complaint it would be the fact that Ozon seems to avoid any explanation concerning the psychology or motivation behind what would cause a young girl to swing so radically from losing her virginity to prostitution, leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Aesthetically very pleasing, very sensual and poetically visualised movie, however the plot doesn't seem to go anywhere. It's very hard to understand the main character, but maybe the movie is about the inexplicable desire she has, maybe that's the point, the beauty and the poetry this story is trying to tell us about.
