Water Lillies (2007)

Rated: ♥♥ (2/5)

Water Lillies is a French film that follows Marie, a girl with an unhealthy obsession with Floriane. Floraine happens to be a highschooler on the synchronized swimming team. They become friends by necesities. Floraine invites Marie to watch their swimming practices so long as she escorts her to and from her house so she may consort with her boyfriend. Floraine toys with her, aware of her attraction, and Marie... well, she just gets creepier; stealing Floraine's trash, staring at vaginas under the water... you know, that type of thing.

This movie will bring you right back to that awkward 15 year old stage where sex is new, girls are suddenly attractive, and you don't even know what's going on with your body. But the real plot of Water Lillies revolves around the topic of the horrible straight girl crush.

We rated it 2 for the following reasons:
1. We don't enjoy sex scenes with children
2. It makes you feel awkward from beginning to end
3. It's hard to relate to the characters and understand their actions
4. The main character is just kinda creepy and hard to empathize with

In the end, we just couldn't bring ourselves to really care about the outcome of the story. And that is as good as any reason to dislike a movie. We gave it 2 stars simply because the acting was okay, the directing wasn't too shabby, it was visually appealing, had an okay soundtrack... but the story, sheesh.
