Review of Ginger & Rosa

Ginger & Rosa (2012)
4/10
Maybe not utterly deplorable, but close

Elle Fanning gives another fantastic performance, and she is definitely an up and coming star. Unfortunately, her performance is wasted on a film where very, very little happens in almost an hour and a half. I'm not expecting to see "Iron Man" and cars blowing up, but I am expecting to see a storyline. This film reminded me of "The Holy Girl" from 2005, in that both films could have been perhaps 45 minutes in length, and that would have been more than enough time to tell the story without feeling rushed. I really try to use critic reviews on websites like MetaCritic for guidance on what to see, and when I see critics say how magnificent this film is, they really should be sued for malpractice.
