A very good coming of age story and told from a young woman's point of view, unlike almost 100% of this genre.
The central character is bright and funny and real but hopelessly stuck in the no man's (woman's) land between the end of school and the start of adulthood. Her instincts are good but she is constantly let down by her circumstances and the people around her.
Achingly real, difficult to watch, brilliantly shot in black and white and often at night, to mirror her aimless sleepwalk through her late adolescence.
A must see for film lovers and a reminder that Quebec makes the best Canadian films.
Much, much better than most of the reviews here.
