Review of Lila Says (2005) by Ramdane A — 18 Jun 2010
All style & no story or substance, in the European film tradition. This "coming-of-age" story goes nowhere. SPOILER ALERT. Mohammed Khouas, as Chimo, gives a credible performance. His romantic interest, Lila, played by Vahina Giacante, is attractive & gives an OK performance. But, there isnt much to the story. This girl talks up sex as a tease, in a wholly unbelivable way (there is a kernal of truth here). Altho, she does jerk off Chimo on their 2nd meeting ... strange ... becuz neither of them goes back to that activity later on. She lives w/ an aunt (parents apparently deceased) who likes to look at her pussy ... strange ... & very unlikely.
Almost nothing happens in this entire film. Not in the main story, nor among any supporting characters.
A very unsatisfying film. Dont bother.
