GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

amf6 A remarkable film, bringing to the surface all sorts of feelings I had when I was much, much younger. I loved it, and the Elton John music. I remember seeing in in the movies when I was a kid, and for some reason (limited release?) I've never known anyone else who saw this film when it was released.The dreams it inspired in me from decades ago have never left me, and seeing the film again recently brought it all rushing back, I confess, however, that my kids (in their 20's) have not experienced a similar emotional rush. A generational thing?Why is it not on DVD?

eviltimes My wife and I saw this when we were 17. The only good thing my father ever did (get us in). This is "our movie" and the music is "our songs". Michelle's song is "our" song. Yeah, nowadays, it's a crime to show naked children on the screen, but we were screwing at 16, why not these kids? The movie is- rich boy impregnates poor girl, then rich dad steals him away from her at the end, after she gives birth under impoverished conditions. She is left alone with child. It is a love story and a "growing up" story. The music is fantastic, and the story is one any person could relate to. May be someday this will be released on DVD.

jeffcotec I've just been setting up a rental list on amazon, and remembered this film Id seen about a million years ago. All I seem to get in the search engines is "friends" - the TV series. This site was the first one and I couldn't believe it when it was actually the film I was looking for!!I remember watching this on an old black and white t.v.one afternoon whilst off sick, and terrified my mum would come home and catch me watching it. I can hardly remember any of it, but wasn't it about 2 young kids who got together then had baby?!!I have to try and buy this now!! I'm giving it a six but it could be more, is it in french??does anyone else remember seeing it on t.v. I know I was only about 10 years old. I do remember my sister coming in and being mortified.Having read the review though, was it a brother helping his sister out when she became pregnant? Is this going to be one of those films you vaguely remember; buy it for a silly amount then realise it was a run of the mill afternoon movie? we shall see..

harrytrue With all the dreck out there, this is a gentle movie about young love. Yes, it's true that young love often makes more out of something than it deserves, but why aren't people down on "Romeo and Juliet"? Paul and Michelle are models of good behave compared to them.Yes, they run away, and set up an ideal life, but this is a movie, not real life. Paul is more sexually interested than Michelle, who has been come onto in a bad way. Eventually, they have sex, but no one is forced into it. The movie does let kids know that sex can cause babies.One thing, there is nudity in the movies. The camera does not focus on it, but it is there.The ending of the movie has Paul in good chance of being found out. In "Paul and Michelle", they separate for a time. If you don't like the ending of a movie, think one up yourself. Alternative endings are not just for DVDs.
