i fucking love french cinema. i love how they capture everything, it's like each scene talks through you. the attention to details, the character's emotion and personality, the colorings and the visuals. perhaps frobbiden/affairs gotta be one of my favorite genre of films when it comes to french made. i mean from leon morin priest to this shit? ughhhhh yes. thank u god for creating french cinema.

Oh my god this movie, it's so painful, it's so beautiful, just shows how important a parent's presence and support really is, how will someone this age – teenagers especially – will follow any light of hope in the darkness of loneliness and abandonment and clinging to that glimmer for as long as they can, and the sexual abuse part is just so so so sad, especially if it came from the only person you were relying on when no one was there im super happy with the ending, she came to her senses and realized she doesn't need that MOTHERFUCKER YEAHH FUCK YOU FRED.
I hate Fred so so so much, they had no right to bring that Jack O'Connell looking guy on set i almost folded

Not a new concept, not a new execution of the concept, just a solid one.
