You'd expect this movie to look good, coming as it does courtesy of the Scott brothers (Tony and Ridley produced it) and young Jordan Scott who has made a competent and pretty result. Beyond that it goes downhill quickly.
A story from the lesbian end of the Mills & Boon shelf is full of public school cliché and a love of style over substance. The acting is at times over-wrought and at other times the script is laughably predictable. The girls' characters range from the beautiful princess (literally) to the overweight clumsy one and their relationships follow arcs that one can see coming from miles away. As someone else mentioned, the bakery scene is slightly baffling, unless one sees it as a madness/agoraphobic moment. Echoes of Lord of the Flies don't help either as that was a superior product in every way.
