Twitter Capsule: Pristine. One of cinema's most stirring proofs that teen-driven film can be political, reflective, and sexually complex.

VOR: ④  Big hit with LGBT festivals and filmgoers, but so generally lionized by critics it's not always remembered that way. French humanism with keen insights and a mature feel for politics.
