5/10
adolescent salvation-story marred by self-indulgence
3 March 2001
The potentially touching (if far from original) premise of a girl's redemptive love for a "misunderstood" loser is spoiled by straining for effect and overall implausibility. Talented direction of young actors, but an immature view of the human condition that lacks the feeling of sacredness that its Bresson-like references to religion seem to seek. Less would have been more.
