    Mehhh. . . .!

    Film was not very good, or at least quite mediocre. Also it is not a particularly interesting story and in fact, I believe it is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen.

    It is the story of teenage girls who struggles at school and in life. The film thrives off realism: nothing too spectacular or too extraordinary happens in this film.

    I considered leaving the theatre at times, but I was constantly hoping the movie would get interesting so I stayed. Horrible, slow, boring, cringeworthy at times and the most underwhelming movie I've seen in a long time. I definitely do not recommend.

    In my opinion seeing it through till the end was in fact purposeless, and an utter waste of time.

    The only thing i can say is: avoid!

    Who is the best person to face this Europe ?

    In fact, the film was quite mediocre. I say it is good not because the quality of the film is far ahead, but because Europe needs such a film as a record now. This is not a trick to win awards at film festivals. These are the issues that Europe must face today.

    Adults dare not explain it clearly, but teenagers should explain it. The intersecting narratives of social conflicts and family conflicts will never make you feel bored.

    Teenagers who are in the process of building their own identity are the perfect people to bring these issues up and talk about them. So the movie proceeds very smoothly and reasonably.

    Another very interesting conversation between two people with different fears. One is afraid of the future and climate change, and the other is afraid of what to do if he meets a scumbag. But who can live without the fears the other party mentioned?

    I thought there was a love story but it must have remained in the screenwriter's head, a senseless ending already seen in another 1000 films!

    Film with great ambitions that however all remain in the screenwriter's mind, I frankly watched this film only because they made me believe in the trailer that there was a love story between the two protagonists but unfortunately that also remains only in the mind of the screenwriter, we talk about politics but there are no interesting dialogues so it is worth watching this film, overall this film is a cloud of white smoke that has not brought anything more, Interesting, the ending is then the classic inconclusive final that does nothing but leave the spectator perplexed for what happens! Frankly, the streaming does not even be worth free.
