All the reviews, including mine, sorry are by men, and I am not sure any of us should be reviewing a film so distinctly made by women for women.
Coming fresh to the Director I did not know what to expect, but now that I have watched it with my wife, we both believe it was fairly representative of a girl who has wild sexual dreams and fantasies, This is not your 'normal' young person, but who knows what goes on in their brains while they try to come to terms with their sexuality, and general growing pains.
Added to this its Rural France, where old fashioned habits die hard, and many are hard up, and live in what some would consider filth.
Also all the professional reviewers appear to be American, and again sorry, but how much do they know about rural France, next to nothing we suggest.
Our biggest complaint however is that a 20 year old can never be a 14 year old. If the girl had been 15/16, this would be much more likely a story, and therefore more believable.
