Avec Margot Laure Marie et Hugo. Dimanche soir dernière sortie à Bastille = blindax. Un incroyable don't j'ai abuse pop corn au caramel. On se retrouve aux 5 dernières places tout en bas tout à droite ce qui nous aura valut de grands rires dues aux têtes déformées avec Laure. L'histoire d'une jeune algérienne lesbienne dont on voit la transition entre la fin du lycée et son entrée à la fac ou elle commence à assumer sa sexualité... Mais venant d'une famille maghrébine d'un quartier populaire c'est pas simple ! Et voilà, ça ira pas bcp bcp plus loin je trouve. Des éléments pas aboutis qui servent à rien, des relations pas si saines même avec des femmes, des messages soit trop évidents soit pas assume, certes de la visibilisation maks pas le côté politique auquel on pouvait s'attendre. "une tranche de vie" répondrait Hugo et Marie !
Synopsis
Fatima, 17, the youngest of three daughters, treads carefully as she searches for her own path, grappling with emerging desires, her attraction to women, and her loyalty to her caring French-Algerian family. Starting university in Paris, she dates, makes friends, and explores a whole new world, all while confronting a timeless and heartrending dilemma: How can one stay true to oneself when reconciling different parts of one’s identity feels impossible?

The film is praised for its sensitive handling of complex themes and the strong performance by the lead actress.

👍 Strong lead performance and sensitive handling of themes.
👎 Potential underdevelopment of cultural and religious conflicts.
