## Description

In the summer of 1981 a 10-year old girl is left behind with an aunt when the rest of her family goes to Africa as aid workers.

With sharpening senses she gradually discovers the often absurd and careless adult world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    gorgeous and moody
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2011*

The Girl is a beautiful and moody tale about a 9 1/2 year old girl whose parents have left her at home in the care of her aunt for the summer, as they've gone on a humanitarian trip to Africa. By turns, the aunt ends up leaving the girl herself, going off to travel with her boyfriend. The girl (whose name is never given), then tells the handful of people she has contact with that her aunt is there and things are just fine .... and in this way, spends the summer without her family or any adult care whatsoever.  The story's about the character of the girl and the various thing she goes through while spending time alone, and with a small handful of others. This includes quite an array of experiences, many of them quiet, some fun, some painful, and all interesting to witness. The actress portraying the girl, Blanca Engstrom, is phenomenal, expressing an amazing range of feeling, all very honestly, and very subtley. The film is shot beautifully as well, and is lovely to watch in any case, as it's set in the environs of an old farmhouse outside a small town. The pacing is great too - it's a portrait, and for that reason slows us down to pay attention much as the girl herself does, while being interspersed with moments of greater activity, interaction, and emotion. Lastly, there were many moments that I could identify with from when I was that age - catching tadpoles, friends and peers, learning to swim, etc - part of what makes the story feel so genuine.  A great film, I hope to see more both from the director and the actress.

    Good Movie, But Not the One Directed by David Riker
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2013*

A very interesting character study, although the movie I wanted to see, which has the same title, but was directed by David Riker.  Hopefully, that one will eventually be available on DVD.  Nevertheless, this movie was definitely worth buying.  I will probably watch it again sometime in the next year or so.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars
