desperate cool

I can't say I loved or hated Fat Girl. I found it plodding in some points and their certainly seems to be an anti-male sentiment throughout. Breaillat had some interesting points on sibling rivalry but maybe they weren't explored fully. Perhaps this film will bear a repeat viewing. Also, the end scene was gripping but the final shots were overly reminiscent of a certain Truffaut film. 3 out of 5 *
