"A disaster of a movie. The premise could be interesting to analyze matters of identity, of development (physical, neuropsychological) but, as usual with women's stories told by male directors, it focuses on sexuality. Based on her age, it's also a pedo movie. Suggesting that putting the brain of a young girl in a woman's body would lead to unabashed sexual appetite is terrifying. Making her choose to leave a weirdly-in-love man to go with a sleazy dude as 'experiencing the world' also is."

"Aesthetically pleasing, but very messy. It overall feels like he played for an already conquered audience and did not need to set any foundations for the worlds he built. Hence, a lot of events come off as arbitrary. The exploration of emotions is alas virtually absent... disappointing."
