An absolute stunner of a movie.
Much more than a perfectly realized vignette about seduction. It is the latest and most powerful dispatch yet from Ms. Breillat, France's most impassioned correspondent covering the war between the sexes.
It's sensuality with a stinger, and Fat Girl is an adolescent sex drama that takes no prisoners.
Characters in Breillat's movies often make sex their god, lose faith in it, then find their lives hollow and grim. Bergman wouldn't have been so concerned with bodily woes, but he'd have understood.
Breillat has made an important, even essential work about the exploitation of young women's sexuality, but is not she complicit as well?
A laser-sharp evocation of the tortured ties that bind sisters, who can love and loathe each other simultaneously and inflict lifelong wounds with chilling expertise.
Assails with its in-your-face, repulsively compelling (like a train wreck) brutality.
