(1 - 5) of 5 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   "Suggests less the shallow waters of boxoffice safety than a teenage Catherine Breillat film. With all elements tightly drawn together under her supervision, Schiama announces herself as a major new talent to watch."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 3.5/5 "Beautifully paced with an eerily-consistent tone"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin 3/5 "Explores the rawness of one teenage girl's feelings as she rides the roller-coaster ride of ups and downs in a mysterious and enthralling relationship."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Though the material is familiar, [director Celine] Sciamma has a light touch and avoids many teen-movie cliches. Her girls aren't hyperverbal -- in fact, they're the opposite, guarded and always listening for cues before they reveal themselves in words."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3/4 "Water Lilies sees female adolescence as an uncomfortable, embarrassing phase full of painful self-consciousness and frustrated desire."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager  (1 - 5) of 5 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
