Plot
A sixteen-year-old in the Paris suburbs leaves school and joins a gang of girls, and rebels against her family.
Sinekatalog’s take
Céline Sciamma's drama of a Paris-suburb teenager finding a girl gang is vivid and tender. Karidja Touré is superb, and the film's famous Rihanna dance scene captures freedom and belonging.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
