Quick Thoughts:

French cinema is quite interesting, especially films made for TV. While the storylines sometimes feel a bit melodramatic, like a soap opera, french films also have a deeper philosophical depth that is quite refreshing. “You’ll Get Over It (À Cause d’un Garçon)” is a prime example of this cinematic style, part of the TV film series: Carnets d’ado. With a realistic script, director Fabrice Cazeneuve & writer Vincent Molina brought a sensitive subject to French primetime TV. To add to this achievement, the film premiered back in 2002 – when queer storylines were shied away from in mainstream cinema! “You’ll Get Over It (À Cause d’un Garçon) might have a couple weaker areas, but it’s an excellent film that shows the full range & effects of being outed. No stone is left unturned as they dig through the various stages and relationships of acceptance. Plus it ends on a positive note! I highly encourage you to watch “You’ll Get Over It (À Cause d’un Garçon)” – you’ll love it!
