Coming from anyone else, Ginger & Rosa would be a sensitive if predictable coming-of-age tale set in the mists of the distant past. But coming from writer-director Sally Potter, it's a major surprise.

A near-flawless film, beautifully shot and cut, excitingly performed and deeply felt.

Fanning is nearly perfect as Ginger navigates choppier waters than most teens have to. There is not a false note in her performance; no matter how melodramatic things become, everything about Ginger remains genuine.

Elle Fanning is scary. Scarily good.

In all respects, this is the completely captivating Fanning's picture.
