It's sort of avant-garde fantasy with moral layers. Weird film, but intriguing till the end. Then I grasped how convincing it really is into its being truly thought-provoking.

An open mind is a necessity (plus it's french, lol). Several artistic references are there for who can recognize them.

I feel the black&white scenes really add to the story. The island seems amazing. The cast and directing are excellent! Certain scenes stay with you quite some time. Oh, and there is a fake ending and a little extra for who sits till after the end titles.

Sorry, I tried hard to watch this movie, which seemd to look like LORD OF THE FLIES on many points, but it was too hard for me. Not a bad movie, very daring too, but not for all audiences...

Dont waste your time to watch this freaky movie 3 star just for acting and 1 star for director's dirty mind What was that really !

I suppose they were going for a clockwork orange/ lord of the flies fantasy drag king thing..... but: 1. You don't become a woman just b/c your d'ck falls off. Gender is not dependent any body parts other than your brain.

2. these hooligans would have never become men anyway. One becomes a "Man" by the choices they make; just like one becomes a "Woman" by making other choices. And one of those choices is first becoming an adult and taking responsibility for ones actions. (This is what you learn when you actually explore the idea of gender.) 3. The multiple r'pe and grooming scenes might be there show just how "savage" these kids are; but making them so voyeristic and homo erotic could be seen as an endorsement.

4. flipping back and forth between color & black & white didn't make any stylistic sense to me and was more distracting than anything.

This is a beautiful film, which explores sexuality, gender and beauty in strange things. The whole film is presented in such a visually pleasing way, and offers a new experience of cinema, with the vibrant colours, and the adventurously experimental characters and interactions.
