The French movie Une fille facile (2019) was shown in the U.S. with the translated title An Easy Girl. The film was co-written and directed by Rebecca Zlotowski.
Mina Farid stars as the 16-year old Naïma, who lives in Cannes. Her cousin Sofia (Zahia Dehar), aged 22 comes to visit her. Sofia is not a good cousin.
The scenery in and around Cannes is beautiful, but that's the only good thing I can say about this film. I kept waiting for it to start, but I was still waiting when the movie ended.
I saw this movie (on Netflix) because the New Yorker magazine had given it a rave review. It was only after I saw the movie that I checked the IMDb rating. Big mistake. As my wife says, "What have we learned." We've learned that some reviewer somewhere will like even a bad film. Check out IMDb before you spend the time watching a movie. I don't always agree with IMDb ratings, but when they are really, really low, I stay away.
With a horrific IMDb rating of 5.5, An Easy Girl may be the lowest-rated film I've ever watched. Even so, I didn't think it was that good, and rated it 4.
