Young but not innocent

No pun intended - youth ... something we crave for. Either in thinking back to it - or trying to "capture" it. And youth that tries to get experience ... sometimes with any means necessary. But if they are not checked, if there are no ... well let's call them borders. So our main character here really goes out (no pun intended) and tries things out.

The amount of teasing is ... really high here. Not for the easily offended - even if they might check and realize that she is an adult (but plays an underage teen). So be aware of that - this is a movie. But it does represent how some teens grow up ... what traps they fall victim of ... and what traps they themselves get to be for others.

It is easy to judge and be high and mighty. Humans are not always good ... and this movie is showing us what can happen, when things get out of control ... more than once.

A dysfunctional family , a 15 years old girl discovering her sexuality, parties, exercises of seduction, a presumed uncle as victim and a pregnancy not so serious perceived.

The good acting and the high realism are the basic virtues of not so comfortable story about a sort of Lolita who, out of controll of adults- a father preocuped by his new girlfriend, a depressed mother looking for solve her problems, has entire liberty to explore, manipulate, seduce and ignore the crisis of near others.

This makes this film special - the courage and smart way to translate in image the states of an age of selfishness and profound vulnerability, cynism and ignore of the others. And it did just a beautiful job.
