Such a Gorgeous Kid Like Me Reviews

Honestly, beforehand, I had never heard of this movie but since I have a weak spot for François Truffaut, I still wanted to check it out. Apparently, it is one of his more obscure movies which he made after ‘Les deux anglaises et le continent’ which was pretty good and before ‘La nuit américaine’ which was one of his most heralded movies. So, it is not one of his well know movies and, honestly, it is was not really good, I’m afraid. I mean, it is pretty obvious that, this time, Truffaut didn’t intend to make something really deep but was trying to make a light and frivolous picture. Still, I seriously had a hard time to care about the whole thing. Indeed, even though Bernadette Lafont was quite plucky, I thought she and/or her character was rather annoying. The other characters were not really likeable either but it was made on purpose this time but, still, since I didn’t care about the characters and what they were going through, the whole thing was rather tedious to watch. Still, it was not really bad, there was an interesting sarcastic tone and Truffaut remains a really good director, that’s for sure. To conclude, even though it is definitely a minor effort, I still think it is worth a look though, especially if you are interested in François Truffaut’s work.
