Difficult to review this one. First off, this is a serious drama movie, probably mainly aimed at women, and the sex scenes are very mild, with barely any nudity what so ever, so if you're a bloke looking for some sexy scenes, you'll probably be disappointed. That said, I'm a guy, and I somewhat enjoyed this movie as it went along, and the acting, music, and camerawork was all fine the way it was. I also think it's praiseworthy that they make an effort to have the main female character feel pretty normal, and not be overly attractive (turns out later that she's more attractive than most people think, once she starts paying more attention to her appearance). She also starts out shy and insecure, before changing quite dramatically later on, as she finds herself and gains more confidence. This is quite believable, and a fairly good portrayal of a young woman in high school. That said, I didn't understand what the message was supposed to be in this movie. It obviously has to be something to do with female sexuality, but I don't get what point they were trying to make. The movie ends up feeling pretty pointless and hollow to me as a result. Maybe I just don't get it because I'm not the target audience. Maybe someone else can explain it to me in a separate review. Hopefully someone else takes the time to watch and give feedback on this movie, and I don't end up being the only one.
