I usually love gay movies ....I have this friend of mine with whom I talk and discuss such movies at length and usually between the two of us we have watched practically every Indie lesbian movie out there that made it big. She keeps recommending me the movies and I watch them and then we talk :) Water Lilies ... I tried hard ... I mean ...real hard to appreciate the movie ... however ... I simply could not quite find myself to appreciate this French movie that speaks the story of two 15 year old girls. To sum it up ... I was only too happy to see the movie end. Even for a die hard indie movie enthusiast I think it will be a bit difficult to find this movie interesting to watch. I think the direction messed it up or something in the script messed it up somewhere ... the novice 15yr old's have done a commendable job playing their respective roles ... so ... yes in terms of acting I quite liked it ... but there was something amiss in the movie and I quite can not put my finger on it.
