Adrift

The versatile French super star Vincent Cassel shines in Brazilian writer and director's Heitor Dhalia gorgeous film. The coming of age story of a teenage girl who thinks her parents failing marriage has something to do with her father's affair with a beautiful woman. Dhalia perfectly captures the girl's state of mind as she goes through her own sexual awakening as well as making an exceptional beautiful film. Cassel and Débora Bloch are perfect as the parents as are the rest of the immensely good looking cast including the stunning Laura Neiva as Filipa who makes her debut in a powerful performance.
