I have mixed feelings on this storyline, firstly it articulates the feelings of these two very young girls in a realistic sense, I?m sure many ladies out there watching this film will relate to this with nostalgia and can draw an understanding of the circumstances.

This is a film that could not have been made in Hollywood. The social restraints (not to mention the legal ones) would not have permitted it, at least not in its present form. Fat Girl is quite frank and matter-of-fact in the depiction of adolescents in sexual situations...( read more)
this is a startlingly frank feminist film about the way society judges women and the way we internalize that as girls. the sisters' relationship seemed really natural and even sweet at times and there are funny moments but i must say...this made me as uncomfortable as anything i...( read more)
The film film started out kind of mundane and even at times laborious. But a single moment in this film made everything that preceded it come together and made me look at the protagonist in a different light. One of the most bewildering moments i've ever experienced in a film. I ...( read more)
After nearly an hour and a half of watching French teenagers being French teenagers and having boring conversations interspersed with occasionally humourous (though supposedly titilating) fumblings, the sick ending of this film will knock your socks off.

Incredibly dark dram that you'll never forget and will never want to watch again. This is indeed one of the greatest film ever made. It's really hard to rate this film due its morality. However, it would be cruel to not give this film the stars it truly deserves.The way it slap t...( read more)
There is a jolting surprise in discovering that this film has free will, and can end as it wants, and that its director can make her point, however brutally. full review
A lean, mean movie, and not a pretty one, but it leaves no question as to Breillat's angular originality as a filmmaker. full review
i love to see this movie because i love big girls i meane fat girls i love to buy this movie too
Amazing film! It deals with female roles and sex issues. I love how the film captures the different ways that women are violated mentally every day and put into a place of worthlessness. The best message displayed is that although women can be strong on the outside, a woman can be powerless when concerning sex.
