Catherine Breillat's first film, is in retrospect, a trip into what will be familiar territory (it reminded me of Fat Girl in mood look and plot). Here a well developed 14 year old comes home and begins to explore herself and her moods. She keeps a diary about her feelings and explorations. Its a dark and disturbing film that doesn't seem to be about anything other than showing that little girls are not just sweet and light; and disturbing the audience in such away that its not really disturbing because you know she's going for effect and little more (I understand its to get us to think, but must it always be about the same thing?). Its not bad as such but having seen Breillat's other work I had the feeling I had been here before (or is that would go here again?), so her revelations are less than spectacular. And while I should say that I am not a fan of her work I still don't didn't see the point.
