An interesting film about how sexual tension--particularly when that tension is held in uneasy balance and then disrupted--can lead to violence. The film is full of pity and compassion for these young people, but looks at them clearly.

A flawed, but ultimately touching coming of age film which brings across a manner of unease that could only come from a film riding on the tail end of the 60's. I found the relationship between the girl and her two boys disturbing but hauntingly beautiful, with perhaps a slight homoerotic subtext running throughout.
