A fairly sensitive, if somewhat exploitative, drama detailing a schoolgirl's foray into lesbianism.

Will likely provide a few quaint sexual thrills for straight guys, but, like all pornography, it tends to drag.

a story with substantial grace and beauty, but not much substance

Probably the most common misconception about Radley Metzger's films is that they are "innocent."

There is something preposterous in the sight of two adult women (Essy Persson and Anna Gael) costumed and cast as schoolgirls. The effect is roughly as convincing as Jonathan Winters in a Cub Scout uniform.

Metzger is master of cinematic foreplay, and he once again shows how to artfully capture the erotic moment.
