Spring Blossom

"Suzanne Lindon cast herself as a teenager in the coming-of-age tale, a misstep that often obscures her strong directing and writing choices" 

"Provocative and original, if a bit slight (...) [It] ultimately asks a lot more questions than it answers (...) The dialogue is scant, as is the action, to the extent that 'Spring Blossom' sometimes feels like a short stretched to feature length" 

"The film demonstrates enough personality for us to await with curiosity the young director’s next work." 

"Lindon creates a portrait of first love which is fresh, honest and engaging." 

"It takes great maturity and confidence to make a film about the emergence of a young woman’s sexuality that also dares to ask complex (...) Suzanne Lindon is such a filmmaker" 

"In creating material so close to her lived experience, Lindon is able to avoid the common clichés of teenage stories." 

"A concise and truthful portrait (...) the film ends on a note of wistful but placid understanding (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"At barely 70 minutes, this is a fleeting affair in every sense. Perhaps that’s the point (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
