I thought this film was very nice in some ways. The theme of two girls of a very different temperament growing up together and discovering who they really are against the backdrop of a metamorphosing London-life in the 80's was intriguing. However, I thought the pacing of the film was often too samey, with no really big 'tell all' scenes or, in the end, believable catharsis for the protagonists. On the plus side, I thought the staging and sets were excellent.
I would recommend anyone who enjoyed this film to watch French director, Martine Dugowson's, MINA TANNENBAUM - a film that covers similar territory, but perhaps is more sure of its intentions and has more dimensionality.
