Review of Fat Girl (2001) by Christopher S — 19 May 2009

Catherine Breillat's study of adolescent sexuality (or at least female adolescent sexuality, it presents an incredibly antagonistic and close-minded view of male sexuality) seems more interested in illustrating philosophical notions of sex and relationships than it is in telling a convincing story.

Pretentious, slow-paced, and dull much of the time, leading up to an absolutely ridiculous ending - it falls far short of accomplishing whatever it is it's trying to accomplish.
