Despite its frank (for the time) examination of schoolgirl lust, this is ultimately a rather innocuous melodrama of the traditional French coming-of-age genre. Unfortunately, due to the staid setting and pedestrian direction, it affords none of the retro-chic cachet of the other European erotica imported by Radley Metzger's Audubon Films at the time. In fact, Metzger filmed and cleverly inserted some hotter scenes for the American arthouse market, featuring a young and decidedly innocent-looking Georgina Spelvin! Obviously, the shower scene featuring starlet Agnes Laurent is authentic, however. The film serves best as a time capsule of a period just on the brink of sexual revolution, and as a gallery of memorable faces which would grace other Eurocult items, like Laurent, Estella Blain (who steals the show with her exotic look), and Catherine Deneuve as a little girl showing more spunk than in any of her adult roles. Tim Lucas of Video Watchdog also surmises that a teenage Brigitte Bardot can be glimpsed in one scene, but this is not readily evident in the VHS version. The movie also shows unexpected depth in hinting that the adults empathize with the confused girls, and that some of the middle-aged characters (both male and female) have hidden (and not-so-hidden) desires for them.
