Comment
A teenage girl at a British girl's school has a relatonship with another girl. The other girl gets pregnant and then suddenly dies. She then starts dramatically collapsing and this spreads to other girls. This is one of those films where very little happens and nothing is explained, though the main character has a lesbian relationhip as well as intimacy with her brother. The film touches on a variety of themes but does not nothing with them except present them.There are good performances from the two young girls (Maisie Williams and Florence Pugh) who are well supported by Maxine Peake and Greta Scachi. Overall, a disappointng film and the basic premise is better dealt with in the earlier Picnic At Hanging Rock.
