My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Wild Reeds (1994)

This French film explores the friendship between two teenagers going through sexual awakenings.   Francois’ discovers he’s gay after a sexual experience with a school mate.  Maite, a less adventurous girl, finds herself in love with the same boy, a young man who passionately supports Algeria’s revolution.   I loved how unexpected this film was, like walking into the unpredictable life of a real French teen.   Andre Techine directs what is a believable and honest journey that anyone can relate to no matter their sexual orientation.  Grade: A-
