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.

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.
