Critic Reviews for Peppermint Soda
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (1)
Kurys, at the time a disillusioned actress-writer who reportedly had never held any kind of camera before, showed a remarkable assurance visually and rhythmically when mixing the serious with the playful.
Peppermint Soda feels timeless and relatable while also specific to its era - Kurys herself was between Anne's and Frédérique's ages in the years the film takes place.
Although a respectable and occasionally beguilling first feature, "Peppermint Soda" lacks a certain fizz and staying power.
The focus here isn't necessarily in what happens to Anne and Frédérique, so much as how they survive it, with fierce loyalty to each other, in a world that they're quickly learning won't always treat them kindly.
This is a charming film that makes its impact not with contrived plot points designed to trigger cheap emotional responses, but with disarmingly honest portrayals...
Peppermint Soda is a stellar example of the coming-of-age format.
