Though the main charcater is lesbian, Sichel's gritty youth melodrama is so rich in ideas amd so roght in its texture that it goes beyond a coming-out ot even a lesbian-themed story.
Sichel is just great with her cast.
Sichel strips her story to the essential, offering a film that's tough, compassionate and true.
It succeeds beautifully at capturing the inner life of girls.
A confident first feature.
Less successful at portraying indecision than it is at inducing boredom.
transcends its occasional operatic moments by providing plenty of soft-spoken reality
This picture should be required viewing for all teens.
Given great lyrical force by Folland, it comes closer to unlocking the secret lives of girls than any other recent American movie.
Foland ... gives a marvelously expressive, poignant performance as Claude.
Reveals the adolescence most everyone went through (or witnessed) but no one talks about.
A walk on the mild side.
Loved this movie. Very moving and subtle. Great cast too. I'm surprised it wasn't more popular.
