"We must not split up, Marie. I do crazy things when I'm alone."

Man, great line to sum up this movie. Tons of crazy stuff going on. I hope this isn't what a typical teenage girl in France experiences.

This movie is kind of creepy in the beginning in that it takes a very taboo subject like obsession and border line stalking and shows it in the light of young "innocent" teenagers. You think it might be getting a little bit better when Marie and Floriane seem to be getting along together and then it just gets even weirder when you see them beginning to fall for each other.

Floriane was a roller coaster of a character. I started out hating her, than she got a little bit better, then I liked her, and then I hated her in the end. The whole ending was kind angering, but fitting I guess.

It was a good film in the end. One reason I like it is because I think the emotion's of the character's seem very human. This story definitely seems like something that could have happened in real life. This is like a teen drama done right. I thought the ending was like coming around full circle and closed out the story in the right way.

Good movie, I wouldn't mind watching it again. Once you get over the whole young teen lesbian/stalker/obsession part, it's a good movie.
