Last Summer – 7

If you’re going to have an affair, it’s probably better not to have it with your teenage stepson. That seemed to be the message of this very French film: lots of relatable characters, long takes, sex and bad decisions. It would have been easier to take if Theo, the 16-year-old bundle of animal magnetism, had been either more attractive or more pleasant, but he was a convincingly unhappy, irresponsible teen. The film belongs to Lea Drucker, who wore her emotions on her face a bit too plainly and never quite convinced us of her actions.
