Lila dit ça (2004)
3/10
A gross, twisted take on the MPDG trope
13 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I would've given this movie 7/10 if not for the last 20 minutes.

Lila's story is horrible. She's clearly a troubled teenager in multiple ways, and the fate that she meets in this movie is terrible, and terribly out of place. The tone is ridiculously light, and her awful, life-altering, disgusting experience is used, in some twisted way, as a driver for character growth in the male lead. That, with no mention whatsoever of what she really went through and of what she became afterwards. This is the "manic pixie dream girl" trope, only more twisted and unsettling.
