This film rides a tsunami of my top three core values. It is both compelling and repelling simultaneously. It is the story of a German teenager who is obsessed with her naughty bits, a religious lack of hygiene, and the fantasy of getting her divorced parents back together.
The nubile Carla Juri plays an Amelie Doppelganger with nuanced precision and a total lack of propriety. She even has a haircut that should have caught on like Amelie's. She floats through the film either on her skateboard, rubbing on toilet seats, or flashing her bum from her hospital bed. How is this entertaining? Cinematography, editing, and Juri's talents. I was particularly intrigued with editing that smoothly transitioned from Ew moment to a brand new Ew moment without blinking an eye.
Arsty, flipant, colorful, and home to a lot of good acting, this movie is not for everyone. I do not recommend it and forbid you to watch it on Netflix. You will not like it.
