Young & Beautiful ( 2013 )
4 stars
a French movie about a teen prostitute …
i thought this would be an Erotic movie with some European flair to it …
instead it’s a mostly serious French Indie film with an extra dose of sexiness …
just like in “The Beautiful Troublemaker” nothing much actually happens, just a very good looking girl that is naked a lot …
but whereas “The Beautiful Troublemaker” is 4 hours long and trying too hard “Young and Beautiful” is only 1.5 hours long and is overall better done.
i was experiencing technical difficulties ( very significant stuttering of video ) which i am frankly furious about so i wasn’t able to properly experience the movie emotionally, but intellectually i can say the quality of the film is very high.
i debated putting “Young and Beautiful” into “movies that were much better than i expected” thread but frankly my expectations were pretty high - it’s just that i expected it to be an erotic movie, and it turned out to be more like a drama but not overdone.
who can you watch this movie with ? well not your wife or kids and probably not your friends either. would be a good movie to watch with your GF probably. alone is fine too. or your GF may even watch it by herself without you LOL.
by the way i have reviewed another film from the same director here:
which had ZERO nudity …
while both movies are high quality i prefer my movies with sexy naked girls but i have to stress that this director is legit and doesn’t NEED nudity to make a film - but it is certainly welcome especially when the girl is young and thin ( and she can actually act as well ! )
