The Girl with a bracelet (Movie Review)

Saw "The Girl with a bracelet" (La Fille Au bracelet) --> French with English subtitles --> on Amazon Prime Video.


I liked it. Story of a teenager who stands trial for murdering her best friend.

Extremely low on melodrama, and almost devoid of any grisly visuals. Looks almost like a documentary. Only the dialogue in a few scenes renders it not suitable for family viewing.


Very simple, and yet holds your attention. Understated, and a welcome change for me at least.

It touches on generation gap. And questions whether we are too hasty in judging young people for their actions from an older generation's perspective.


The end has deliberately been left ambiguous, and to each his own as to what it means.
