Pretty canned stuff. A couple of good performances didn't save this movie, whose writing and direction felt to me like product styling bereft of any connection to reality, complete with a cutesy score and "Mean Girls"-style on-screen text to label the different groups of teen girls at school. There's just about nothing to connect Esther and her cohorts to any specific cultural group, time, or place other than Esther's ostentatiously Jewish last name and the characters' Commonwealth accents. God is in the details, which are very much absent here.
For heartfelt, realistic looks at the lives of teenage girls and young women, spend your time instead on BBC's "My Mad Fat Diary" (available in the States on YouTube) or "Blue is the Warmest Color." If you're feeling brave, go for Breillat's "Fat Girl," which I wish was on Fandor.
Love it.
