Water Lilies (2007)
7/10
Good but aimless
20 May 2010
I liked this. The camera work, acting and studies were very good.

The characters were distinct and true to form throughout, showing young love and the complications that brings. Actual nudity fairly minimal despite the erotic theme, but that eroticism is carried through quite skillfully, never overstepping the mark into porn and maintaining interest in what would otherwise be fairly dull scenes.

Motives are mostly feelings and expressed in the truly clumsy way of adolescents.

My only real criticism is only that it has no ending to speak of. The story is minimal and conveys more of a feeling of a time in peoples lives rather than a story by itself. A snapshot of feelings and in that it succeeds well.
