Quotes
Marie: The ceiling is probably the last thing most people see. For at least 90% of people that die. For sure. And when you die, the last thing you see is printed in your eye. Like a photo. Imagine the number of people with ceilings in their eyes.
Floriane: Ceilings will never seem the same.

I find this movie hard to talk about.

A mystical and intensely eerie take on the coming age movie.

Kind of reminded me of Black Swan though there is no movie quite like it; the hypnotic, even dreamlike visual style captures lyricism and moroseness that play off each other.

It's a secret world of the girl, removed from the prying eyes of parents or guardians who don't appear at all, on a warped personal journey in pursuit of beauty and mutual love but does it all in such a breezy way that cuts out all the stuff that makes Lifetime movies insufferable.

I suggest watching it alone.
