In the wake of her mother's tragic death, French teenager Junie transfers to a different high school. Though Junie lives mostly inside her own head, her beauty and stoicism win her the attention of the entire male student population.

Like a more modernized version of the movies in which Anna Karina starred. I don't mean plagiarism, it just feels like this.

It isn’t a typical love story but I felt a very real one

The movie reveals very interesting idea of being independent in relationship, very sensual, i liked it.

loved it but why did they have otto sing the singing rlly ruined it for me. love teacher student romance tropes, super unsatisfying end

An interesting modern adaptation of a French classic. Though the ending could have been tied up better...

Really enjoyed the whole romance and teasing throw out the movie although I wish there was a better ending.

It was so good. Is so beautiful and sad, but really lovely. And also I love Louis Garrel. "I'm in a total love-sick mess."

Louis Garrel smile in this movie is everything

Expected a little bit better but it’s an okay movie 7/10, i wanna love it cuz it’s french and classic

Something in between wow and meh, forbidden loves, reenacting the book by Mme de Lafayette
