(Fat Girl)
2001 December 2, 2006 Criterion DVD France / Italy French / Italian / English 86 Minutes An overweight 12-year-old girl observes her pretty, 15-year-old sister's sexual initiation on a summer holiday. Controversial, sexually explicit story of two sisters on a vacation. One is beautiful and is ready to lose her virginity. The other is overweight and mocked by her older sister. The scenes of the college-aged boy telling the cutie everything she wants to hear to get into her pants is part-funny, part-sleazy. We see erections and violence and the last ten minutes caught me completely off-guard. Not exactly a great film, but I'm still thinking about it three weeks later. The literal translation is "For My Sister" which makes it seem sweeter somehow. 7.7 Metacritic * Halliwells ~~ 0 Comments: |
