Narrative
Liane, 19, lives with her mother and sister in Fréjus, in the south of France. Consumed by aspirations of beauty and fame, she auditions for a reality show called “Miracle Island”. Agathe Riedinger’s film does not reproduce romantic clichés. It is wonderfully authentic and, like life, unsweetened. Impeccable acting and character development that is hard not to grow fond of. An excellent script that consciously – with a maturity rarely seen among debuts – avoids the beaten path of drama. The director hints at them and then consistently leads us down a different path. The reality of this film is far from the black and white simplifications to which decades of patriarchal narrative have accustomed us. Here the subject is the woman. Beautiful photography, incredible debut. 10/10.
