French filmmaker Jacques Doillon is renowned to know how to direct children and teenagers. Apparently, his daughter Lola has the same gift.
The plot of "Et toi t'es sur qui ?" (which can be translated into "Who is your love interest?") is a "comedy of morals" about two 15 year old girls who make a pact to lose their virginity before summer is over (in fact, they manage it before school's out). Elodie (Lucie Desclozeaux) and Julie, nicknamed "Batman" because of her Goth look (Christa Théret), are best friends at high school. Among their pals are Vincent (Gaël Tavares), in love with Elodie, and Nicolas (Nicolas Schweri). As their school breaks up for vocational training days, the girls examine their prospects from among their male friends. Mission is rapidly accomplished, but tangled consequences severely test the friendship among this small circle of young people.
There is nothing really new in this rites-of-passage movie, but it is told with gentle humor, with some hilarious lines ("What? You mean you f...d Batman?"). The young actors are all fresh and natural and Lola Doillon has a keen eye on contemporary teenagers (and respect for them as well). Hence, her first feature is very truthful, but its charm evaporates very quickly (and no, as you may have understood already, it is not one of those "teen movies" like "American Pie").
