Flirting

First of all, I would never let Naomi Watts be in a movie. Otherwise, the movie was ok. I would have considered getting better actors.... Full review

I think this movie is very romantic and it's so beautiful when they go through everythig to be together it's just a love that is unexplainable , one of the best moviies I have ever seen.... Full review

I honestly think this is one of the best movies ever made. The Year My Voice Broke is possible better and I just wish Duigan would make the third but Taylor is too old.... Full review

This has got to be by far one of the most touching, intelligent, sensitive and emotionally mature and rewarding films out there on first love. What is also truly impressive is that it deals with this topic while also touching on... Full review

Before Nicole Kidman became an international superstar, she starred in this Australian flick about a romance between a white Australian boy (Noah Taylor, who played David Helfgott as a teenager in "Shine") and an African girl (Thandie Newton, of "Crash" fame)... Full review

Intelligently written piece that combines sub-genres of Coming of Age and inter-racial films. The plot is fairly straightforward and the message of the film is not deep. Nevertheless, it is an original film which is simply and cheaply made. The first... Full review

This is a fantastic coming of age story. Noah Taylor as Danny Embling is brilliant. Thandie Newton and Nicole Kidman also do a wonderful job (Plus both are walking dreams) This movie definitely surpasses The Year My Voice Broke. It makes... Full review

I loved this movie, I just loved it! It was a perfect reflection of teen love, and how it is bigger than the boundaries of society. The outcast gets the new, exotic girl. I just love it!... Full review

I found flirting to be well thought out and full of genuine emotion. The first love romance between the hero and heroine is beautifully realistic. It is a splendid example of two youths staying true to themselves as they bridge over... Full review

Those who've watched The Wonder Years will recognise the style of storytelling here. The main character is also the narrator, there's an ongoing reference to world events, there are adolescents growing into maturity, and there are some wonderfully rounded and recognisable... Full review

This is never a great film. ... Full Review

But what really makes "Flirting" a cut above the norm is that, as with the first film, writer-director John Duigan has come up with witty, intelligent dialogue and elicits incredibly natural performances from his young stars. ... Full Review

Both Taylor and Newton are marvelous in their roles, but the magic touch here is a special tone, a uniquely personal color, that only Duigan can contribute. This kind of emotional precision -- that is, this ability to make the subtlest psychological distinctions -- is a rare gift, and Duigan gets full mileage out of it, especially in the intimate scenes between these star-crossed teenage lovers. ...

N ormally, the phrase "charming movie" has me reaching for my broad sword. The movie is full of wonderful scenes: Newton caught hiding in a boys' toilet stall as the unsuspecting lads come in to shower, a line of uniformed boys ritualistically facing a row of ballroom-gowned girls at a school dance, and so on. ...

But this film is refreshingly original. Flirting is intelligent, witty, tender and beautifully understated. ... Full Review

Fred Schepisi directed the definitive portrait of Australian boarding school life with his 1974 debut The Devil's Playground. In more gentle style his fellow Aussie Duigan has tackled the subject with success in The Year My Voice Broke and this... ... Full Article

This film is the second installment in Australian writer-director John Duigan's (Romero) coming-of-age trilogy, continuing with the nonconformist, adolescent perspective of the protagonist from the first film (The Year My Voice Broke) -- Danny Embling (Taylor) -- this time as... ... Full Article
