Water Lilies - Water Lilies review by MT
This film is another great by Celine Sciamma. It is a beautiful, thought provoking film, about the pains of first love and the pressures of fitting in.
She puts so much content in the film, you can really feel the emotions of every character in the film and watching it go through the journey with them.

Bit pointless - Water Lilies review by CP Customer
There was no build up or tension, and whatever 'tension' there was seemed to constantly fizzle away with these unlikeable and strange characters.
Very disappointing ending. Not sure if it was intended, but the style is so...dead. Don't bother watching, it doesn't get better.

short film review - Water Lilies review by KR1960
Not a patch on her later brilliant film - Portrait of a Lady On Fire. Though better than Petit Maman in my opinion
