The Beautiful Person (La Belle Personne) 2008

La Belle Personne (2008)    Sixteen year old Junie is new at a Paris high school, she changed schools in the middle of the year after her mother passed away.  She is staying with her cousin Mathias' family and is also in his class, he introduces her to his friends.  Two of her admirers are Nemours who is an Italian teacher and Otto who is a fellow student. 
    I was hoping this would be good, the trailer seemed like the movie would be good but it's work just to get to the end.  Too much shallow drama, even the teacher is hard to tell from the students?  2 1/2* (This movie is just so-so)

98 min, Drama directed by Christophe Honore with Lea Seydoux, Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet, Louis Garrel, Valerie Lang, Esteban Carjaval Alegria, Chantal Neuwirth.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.8 out of 10, 57% critic 62% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
