Lick the Star

I have been quoting this movie for years!!

All in all, it has an intensely intuitive message that works not only in the context of this short film about the chaos of adolescence, but in the context of every human interaction I've ever witnessed...

Everything changes, Nothing changes. The Tables Turn and Life Goes On.

On my opinion this short film is very representative of it's time and depicts clearly a state of mind in which the characters are. Acting and photography may look nahive o little elaborated but i think it's very well blended in this particular style of filmmaking.

Sofia Coppola has a very unique style which is proved by her following, "The virgin's Suicides". Seems to me that it's almost a documentary, always an up close view of whats going on. It's not only the story, but how is told, and Coppola has a great personal, intimate style that i feel as being a truly femenine capacity, to tell stories not only with action but by declaring mood stages, contextual plots and settings to make the story much more credible.

I really enjoyed this short piece, i saw it before the "virgin's..." so I strongly recommend to watch this film to see a less "pinky-tender" side of Coppola.

what a captivating little short. Pedophillically (if you will) captured by cinematographer Lance Accord ( Adaptation, Being John Malkovich (1999) and Buffalo '66), this otherwise puerile, syllogical bore looks pretty tempting. Young, unknown Audrey Heaven has something. Sofia rocks. And thats about as deep as this commentary gets ...

Cruelty seems an innate skill in this story of junior high school girls. The cliques and the cruel plots and schemes that girls (and boys) can be prone to in that period between when they first start coming into their power as individuals and have yet to develop the emotional maturity that enables the responsibility that comes with power.

i never saw this film until after i saw sophia coppola's new film "Thirteen". They are very similar. They're both interesting, modern accounts of teenage girls. Moving to a degree and i think for the most part very well acted considering these are very young actresses and actors playing very emotionally unstable characters.
