A terrific follow-up to The Year My Voice Broke, Flirting is a teen movie worth watching, thanks to emotionally engaging performances and an endearing script.

Not only worthy of its fine predecessor, this tender, perceptive, and gorgeously acted memory piece may even surpass it in subtlety, feeling, and depth of characterization. Aug 8, 2012 | Full Review…

Miles ahead of the average teen film, Flirting is a most agreeable sequel to John Duigan's earlier pic The Year My Voice Broke. Mar 26, 2009 | Full Review…

Mr. Duigan avoids melodrama, which is all to the good. Yet his gift for the acutely observed commonplace detail is neither strong nor original enough to transform the movie into something comparable to so many similar, better films. Aug 30, 2004 | Rating: 2.5/5

This kind of emotional precision -- that is, this ability to make the subtlest psychological distinctions -- is a rare gift, and Duigan gets full mileage out of it. Jan 1, 2000 | Full Review…

If Duigan maintains the dark yet humanistic humor that has graced both films, we should all be back for more. Jan 1, 2000 | Full Review…

Flirting is one of those rare movies with characters I cared about intensely. I didn't simply observe them on the screen, I got involved in their decisions and hoped they made the right ones. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

As played out by the witty but shy Taylor and the softly radiant Thandie Newton, the romance rises far above the routine "teenagers-in-love" movie. May 31, 2018 | Full Review…

Animation is used here clearly to allow the story to be told with a certain amount of distance, yet the constant shift in tone and introduction of video elements keeps the film intensely unsettling. Jun 21, 2007 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

Charming and entertaining, Flirting, have a captivating script, acting and a good direction that make the audience watch Duigan's movie from the beginning to his end. Fresh.

I didn't really get it. I didn't feel the adolescent pains.
A witty Australian drama. Interesting how Nicole Kidman is a supporting character and yet ended up on the cover of the DVD release. Interesting marketing ploy.
Sensitive teen drama at Sydney boarding school and Nicole Kidman is perfectly as a 16-year-old snooty school prefect (she was 24 years old when that movie was filmed).
There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.
