17 filles

A bunch of girls in an unintersting French town are bored. They have been bored for a long time, so one ‘intelligent’ 16-year-old girl gets the idea that it might be quite fun if she got pregnant. The girls’ lack of zest for living was pretty obvious and I can easily imagine that this very thing is the problem with today’s young people, who do not know how to entertain themselves, so they look for entertainment in nonsense. The film’s premise will attract your attention, but at the same time you cannot expect this to be a five-star gem of a movie. There are too many scenes portraying the endless moments of boredom of the current French generation, who do not know how to value life. (26/05/2017)

An interesting idea, which is one of those that will end up in the dustbin of history. It would be good if it led somewhere, if it maintained the humor that is sometimes a bit reminiscent of sitcom style, or if it was truly dramatic. But it's neither, just something halfway in between, which inevitably leads to mediocrity and often leaves the viewer dissatisfied. (13/04/2016)
