French writer and director Catherine Breillat's follow up to her controversial film "Romance" is less shocking and more affecting in depicting adolescence growing pains between two sisters. A preteen over-weight girl is forced upon her older and beautiful teenage sister who experiences her sexual awakening that has traumatic effects on her. Anaïs Reboux gives a brave performance as the title character. Breillat who has seen that shock value gets attention tries it again which the film doesn't necessarily needs because she has a potent story of sibling rivalry. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
