With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who need a good giggle and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Low effort, high reward: just press play.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
After losing both her parents, young Sylvie is enrolled in a strict boarding school of Victorian English education. The school readily and willingly resorts to a very strict regime of correction and corporal punishment to discipline its female pupils and the young girls compensate for the rigors of their education by devoting themselves to all kinds of kinky schoolgirl sexual encounters.
