Their characters may feel lost, but Ms. Perabo and Ms. Paré rank among the finds of the year.
Top CriticThis movie goes so far in the opposite direction of most films about teenagers that it might anger some viewers with its no-holds-barred honesty.
Barely skirting the lip of the ridiculous.
Pool and Thompson have turned a tough-minded, solid narrative into a campy piece of kitsch that panders to teenage angst.
Evokes the intimacies of teenage girls with unusual delicacy, and Perabo's performance is a geyser of emotion.
Equally earnest and unconvincing.
During the long sit, we get symbolism lobbed into our laps like a large you-go-girlfriend beach ball.
Pool convierte el inerte celuloide en un pedazo vivo de realidad humana. Una película que navega de lo frágil a lo tosco y de vuelta.
A teen-lesbian Phenomenon without the maggots and psychotic chimp.
Way too little, too late.
Rarely has a filmmaker captured the essence of those moments between adolescence and adulthood with the skill and sensitivity Pool does.
Shakespearean drama as penned by a love-struck pubescent girl.
Well-intentioned but curiously out-of-date...far too earnest for its own good.
Perabo is a revelation, wild and fiery.
Less than an overwhelming success, but it's still touching and troubling, and amounts to much more than the average portrayal of teen angst.
Overly concerned with not offending its audience.
It takes place at a girls' school whose students are discovering love for the first time, so the unguarded, adolescent ripeness of their emotions feels right to me.
