User Review
Best film so far at the New York Film Festival
Rating: 10/10
At the time of writing this review, Ginger and Rosa has a 4.8 rating!!
I don't know who these voters are, but this is a very fine film:
insightful, funny, and wise. The acting is across the board phenomenal.
Cast spoke of long rehearsal period during Q&A and it shows. Every shot
captures real life in all its expressive complexity. Elle Fanning, 13
playing 16, gives one of the greatest child performances I have ever
seen - truly astonishing as well as touching, funny/sad, and beautiful.
Great script, gorgeous cinematography and design, perfectly chosen
period music. This is a must-see, and sure to be a break-out role for
Fanning.
