TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
sun328 the plot is so actual that it reminds me of my own life, since i am also a student now. the French romantic atmosphere in that movie is another reason why i grade 10 for it. And i like the ending of the movie particularly, it makes me burst into tears. it is the very movie that makes me have an interest on Sophie.
linuxghoul This was the first french movie i had seen, and seeing it made me feel i had been losing out on a great genre. I instantly fell in love with Sophie, who without a doubt, is easily the hottest thing to come out of France after Brigitte Bardot ;-)The movie follows the life of a carrer oriented woman who decides to have a "fling" and then the fling slowly turns into something which she is uncomfortable accepting, as it may interfere with her studies.A beautifully made film, though the track is pretty standard for a June-December romance.
lokika Hello IMDB, I'm again. Of course I've seen this film just as the La Boum 1 & 2. This is very good movie about a student, that how could she (Valentine) check against her private-life and her preparing for the final exams. Ned (Edouard) is a kindly man, who tries to tear Valentine from her exams. Quarrells and reconciliations. Maybe it's a little bit cliché topic, but meanwhile you watch the film, you don't see this, 'cos the casts are excellent. I recommend this film everyone to see once a time; from the children to grandparents. And not at last the music. . . So, Vladimir Cosma has made another great song: "You call it love". This what I wanted to say. Bye.
Pro Jury This movie has many things going for it. Boy meets girl. Good pacing. Good acting.Along the way plot elements seem to be happenings that are only found in movie scripts -- small little things such as calling your love but assuming she is not home only at the second ring -- NOT real life.Such things are not a bother when drama takes over and wins the day. Sadly, the big dramatic climax here -- clearly planned to be over-the-top -- falls a little short.There needed to be just a little better connection between boy and girl. The director should have gave the viewer greater familiarity with the environment that is the stage for the films final scenes. In this area, the LONG VACATION demonstrates establishing these two crucial story elements flawlessly.One other note, Sophie Marceau is a female goddess and makes L' Étudiante very much worth watching.
