A girl moves in a house next door to the protagonist of this emotionally deep, sexually explicit movie of postpubescent sexualulity. It is everything a literary movie should be: smart, real, and insightful. An emotional film that will break your heart. Solène Rigot, who plays Diane, is from a broken home, and loves her father, but she is becoming a woman. One day someone her age moves in next door, and in a window across the way, Diane sees a girl being slapped around by her father. Julia (the abuse victim) comes over and introduces herself, and Diane and Julia become good friends. What makes Julia such a bad girl isn't much explored, but she is both compassionate and troubled. Julia takes Diane under her wing and the two take off in exploration.
The paltry lack of reviews here comes not from being unworty, in my opinion, but uncomfortably real. Not all are as open and honest in life as Diane and Julia, and they are a dynamic duo until one gets the upper hand... How the friend fights back is poignant, painful, and sad. It brought tears to my eyes.
This is a good movie, and although there is nudity and grafic scenes of sex, it hits a home run worthy of any serious-thinking adult.
