Movie Reviews

Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenGirls just wanna have fun but the trio of adolescents in 'Water Lilies' have anxieties that act against that natural desire.
Sky Cinema - 8/10 by Rob DanielShort, sweet and modest, like Floriane's aquatic sport Water Lilies is pretty and dainty to the eye, but there is a raging torrent of activity beneath the surface.
Film4 - 8/10 by Saxon BullockA universe away from everyday American teen movies, this engaging and empathetic portrait of teenage life is packed full of stylish moments.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Nick SchagerWater Lilies sees female adolescence as an uncomfortable, embarrassing phase full of painful self-consciousness and frustrated desire.
Reeling Reviews - 7/10 by Laura Clifford...a coming of age tale that is at once raw and beautiful.

Time Out - 7/10 by Dave CalhounLanguid, sorrowful and strange, French filmmaker Céline Sciamma's debut as a feature writer-director is a sensitive and daring portrait of female adolescence that's curious about all longings, sexual confusions and grey areas of desire.
The Spectator - 7/10 by Deborah RossThis is a brave film, and admirable for that. It's brave because it's sparse and stripped to the bone; because it's about teenage girls but it doesn't hide behind cell phones and make-up and fashion and annoying parents who just don't understand.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 7/10 by Chris HewittIf poetry is about finding the perfect words to say something, then movie poetry is about finding perfect images. And Water Lilies has several of them.
NewsBlaze - 6/10 by Prairie MillerBorderline kiddie porn featuring sexual girl-on-girl garbage sniffing of one's favorite female object of desire, post-feminist burying instead of burning bras as female self-hatred, and gal pal how-to tips on deflowering your best friend.
