Country: GB/GR/FR/BEL
Technical: col 91m
Director: Molly Manning Walker
Cast: Mia McKenna Bruce, Enva Lewis, Lara Peake
Synopsis:
A teenaged girl has her first sexual encounter while on a hedonistic Mediterranean holiday with her mates.
Review:
Revealingly, not a word of the native language is heard spoken, and the whole package is likely to inspire horror in most of us, which is the point. The endless cycle of shots, sleep and chips endured by these unblemished young bodies is the mark of a social class devoid of any goals, save that of who can get laid the most. It's like Westworld without the robots. Our heroine emerges disillusioned by coercive sex and a GCSE débâcle to find that it is her friends who provide the fun in her life. Not an earth-shattering discovery for a provocatively titled film that exhausts its iconographic potential early on.
