This unassuming and quiet little film is a rare gem in a pile of ash. Not your usual coming-of-age flick, this one revolves around a sharp-as-a-razor 16-year-old girl who willingly falls in love with a sassy charmer twice her age.Schooled in everything but the ways of the wicked world, Jenny is keen to be educated by experienced wanderer David. But, like most of us eventually, she’s rudely awakened by the transitory nature of lust and sees David for what he is – a player.
Luckily the film retains its uniqueness by not falling into the cliché trap. It’s real, and kind of charming in its brashness. The performances are brilliant and the setting – 1960s London – is electric. Full marks!
Rating: 5 outta 5.
