Audience signals

Director Selma Vilhunen (‘Little Wing’) and screenwriter Kirsikka Saari never present a clear point of view, and nor is one revealed at the film’s conclusion. Is teen pregnancy good? Bad? Irresponsible? Fortunate? A lack of education? An inevitability due to home lives or socioeconomic background? Between this and the racism, no true consequences are met. As an audience member I need to feel something, even if it’s the opposite of what the story is trying to tell me. While the events of ‘Stupid Young Heart’ are sad, concerning and engaging enough, it’s ultimately a futile journey. - Jess Fenton Read Jess' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-stupid-young-heart-irresponsible-teens-with-no-consequences Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews.
