It appears to be a young girl's dream, apparently depicting her sexual awakening. It did a good job of mimicking a dream, jumping around from scene to scene and sometimes being confusing or contradictory.
I give it 5 stars mostly because I felt indifferent to it, plus 1 star for having a consistent tone.
I don't think it would be acceptable these days for a 13 year old actress to appear nude on screen.
My male art school friend denies this movie sexualizes the lead (an adolescent girl) but I disagree. This is a good example of a movie filmed for the male gaze. Personally, I would rather watch a movie about a girl's sexual awakening that was made by women.
