Top critics, in their words
It became clear, as the movie wore on, that Ozon isn't interested in explanations, psychological insights, lessons, judgments, diagnoses, or any of the other stuff that normally preoccupies storytellers.
This is a different kind of coming-of-age story.
Prostitution in polite society is still a nettle fearfully grasped. You see, society is not polite and it's about time movies stopped peddling that fluff.
Never amounts to anything more than its title's shallow descriptors.
Ozon keeps things simmering without quite boiling over, even when convention might demand it.
