The sisters at times were affectionate at times and other times used each other with callous neglect. The dialogue at times was way above the sensibilities of adolescents. All and all it deeply hit me. It was able to express and give deep feeling to the viewer of icy indifference of not being connected to your family and the distorted feelings we can get when we perceive someone showing interest in us.

The acting was horrible. I saw absolutely no emotion (at least in the first 45 minutes because that's all I could stand to sit through). And it's just plain boring. I would not suggest this movie to anyone unless I didn't like them. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Very good depiction of how a eating disorder develops at a young age. The main character in this, the young girl, numbs herself with food because she is not in control of anything else in her life. All she wants is emotional and physical love...but because she is fat....doesn't get it. It was really sad to see how her family and sister treated her....almost like she was invisable, except at times when she irritated them. Very realistic. The ending of the movie bothered me. It was so extreme and sudden. I guess hoping for a happy ending in this one would be too much to ask for. Good psychological study. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Provokes a certain amount of self-examination. In which of the characters do you see yourself? The worldy wise younger sister who does not fit the ideal of desirablitiy, yet longs to be desired? The older sister, longing for experience and yet fearing it? The Lothario eager to seduce the virgin and taking full advantage of her ambivalence? The father who cares more about his business than the health of his family? Or the mother who is so cold, she would rather punish her daughter for having sex than for helping her deal with the devestating aftermath? The ending caught me by surprise, as others have mentioned. I kept waiting for Anais to wake up. That she didn't made the movie much less easy to dismiss. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
2 out of 7 people found this review helpful This is one of the worst piece of crap movies I have ever seen. It's got one of those non-ending endings. It's like this in this order: boring, boring, boring, a bit sexual, boring, boring, completely horrible. The End.WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
