Our take

Although featuring an unusual premise for an uncommon romance, the acclaimed festival film My Blue-Eyed Girl carries a universal resonance on account of its emotional honesty and beguiling, heartfelt performances by a cast of young actors. During aimless summer holidays, wild desires ignite.
