Review of Water Lilies (2007) by Grace C — 12 Mar 2014

If I can say nothing else it's that this film is beautiful to watch, even in its most uncomfortable moments. Wonderfully captures that all too hard to describe limbo of growing up. The aesthetics and score of this are fantastic and I couldn't help but remember and miss this phase in my life - even the confusing and sometimes terrible moments that come with it.

It's difficult to capture a mood or a life stage well, particularly at this age and Sciamma does it wonderfully. I'm now nostalgic for a time I usually try to forget. Great performance by Pauline Acquart as well - wish she was in other films.
