Weil uns "Die unerschütterliche Liebe der Suzanne" von Katell Quillévéré so gut gefiel, möchten wir auch ihren ersten Langfilm sehen. Hier schon mal der Trailer zum Film:

"The tender, frank and award-winning debut feature from Katell Quillévéré has a young girl's impending confirmation as the setting for a collision between love, faith and burgeoning sexuality.
14 year-old Anna (striking newcomer Clara Augarde) has returned from boarding school to her small bucolic village in Brittany, where she lives with her devoutly Catholic and newly-single mother (Lio) in the house of her ailing paternal grandfather (Michel Galabru). Along with her absent father and the compassionate parish priest, these adults offer new and often-conflicting world views and advice to the confused teenager. Her budding relationship with a neighbourhood boy Pierre (Youen Leboulanger-Gourvil) unveils additional unexplored territory, the conflict between faith and sexual discovery may be irreconcilable...
Delicately shifting between these various characters just as our protagonist pinballs uneasily among them, Love Like Poison is beautifully written and acted, augmented by an evocative score, a rebellious streak of black humour and lushly photographed locations. Rapturous in tone, this is one of the most personal coming-of-age tales of recent French cinema, marking Quillévéré and her young star as major discoveries."

"The film has a wonderful ease and flow: its relatively brief running time is crowded with incident and plot, and yet each scene, each shot, each gesture unfurls in a winningly unhurried way. There's a brilliant scene in which Anna's boyfriend, Pierre (Youen Leboulanger-Gourvil), plays a love song he's written for her on the guitar, prefaced with a little gasp of nerves. There is tenderness and even a kind of nobility in the moment. […] it is a film whose gentleness and humanity will leave you sighing with assent."
