I don't really know how to rate this but I definitely didn't hate it. I'd just say if you're interested in checking it out don't read too much about it.

Catherine Breillat's films are unforgivably frank and explicit when it comes to female sexuality, and here she explores adolescent precociousness and sibling rivalry in a way that held me in an awkward but fascinated grip all the way until its frightening end.
Anais Reboux plays the title character in what still stands as her only appearance in a feature-length film. She plays the younger sister to Roxanne Mesquida's Elena with the kind of perfect tone that could only come from someone who is not an actor, but just a real child. The ridicule and verbal abuse that goes back and forth between the two sisters is not much out of the ordinary and understandable for anyone who has ever had…

Diskomfortablā sajūta gan vecākās māsas pirmajā reizē, gan ģimeniskajā ikdienā pat savā ziņā pārspēj filmas noslēguma twistu. Saistoša filmas intonācija - ar visu filmu nepazūdošu ļaunuma klātesamību un jaunākās māsas prātīgumu un vājprātu.

The surprise of the shocking moment in Fat Girl easily blows the legs out from under us. The downside to this exponentially sad French film is that its pompous, self-important director, Catherine Breillat, seems more interested in sympathizing with the uber-sexual, gorgeous older sister than the title character. Could be written off as an "odd choice", or just a "bad one".

"Fat Girl" es de esas películas con un ritmo hipnótico que nos mantienen pegados a la pantalla aun cuando no pasan muchas cosas en la historia. La relación de las hermanas, la mayor a punto de perder su virginidad con un hombre mayor y la menor observandola con celos y remordimiento, es tan realista que hasta los momentos explícitos contienen una cualidad común en la cual muchos se pueden identificar.
Algo que llama mucho la atención es el final el cual deja a la audiencia en un estado de shock (al principio es difícil apreciar la ironía de la escena). ¿Es acaso "Fat Girl" una cinta feminista que busca exponer al hombre como un depredador sexual o meramente el reflejo de la ingenuidad de una adolescente y su confusión sentimental? De cualquier forma que se vea es una experiencia fascinante. -
While the core idea is interesting, overall it feels like a very shallow film and only skims the surface of the ideas it brings up.
Think Haneke or Pialat, but a little more watered down. -

No sé aún qué pensar del final.
