  • Starring: Esther Garrel, Juliette Darche, Louise Grinberg, Roxane Duran
  • Summary: Inspired by events that took place in Massachusetts, Delphine and Muriel Coulin’s provocative debut focuses on a group of bored teenage girls who all make an irrevocable pact. When Camille accidentally becomes pregnant, she encourages her friends and fellow high school classmates to follow suit. It’s only a matter of time, before 17 girls in the high school are pregnant and the town is thrown into a world of chaos. Set in the writer/directors’ small, seaside hometown of Lorient in Brittany, 17 Girls is a reflection on adolescence, body image, friendship and the perplexing realities of growing up.

    Wavering between light comedy and drama with wonderfully natural performances, 17 Girls doesn't judge anyone's behavior.

    17 Girls doesn't try to explain its many mysteries. That would have made for a better film, but this one does a nice job showing its effects.

    The setting for "17 Girls" is a French seaside town with a gorgeous beach. Aside from that, what you have here are the ingredi-ents for a Maury Povich show.
