Before you get ... well before you think something that isn't true: the girls in the movie were already of age when they shot their scenes. Something that is not suggested (age wise) when it comes to their respective characters.
Of course that being considered they are ahead of what their age or their body should look like. That actually is not the right way to put it. The way their bodies supposedly should look like for anyone else than themselves.
Two girls, who are quite different. One is quite mesmerized by how the other one is: open about sex. And while she says she is not into what the other one is doing, it does seem like a part of her is yearning to be more open ... to explore her sexuality.
So a lot of nudity, but do not expect this to be too explicit. It is mostly about the drama and the relationships this affects (no pun intended) - their own and the ones they have outside their bond. Quite provocative - and maybe too much for some to watch.
Plot summary
At 14, Diane is an enigmatic teenager and a loner. She is busy bringing up her little brother, Marc, and has an intense relationship with her father, Christian. The appearance of Julia, a young charismatic and emancipated English girl, in her neighbourhood turns Diane's everyday life upside down. Diane, who wants to break the bounds of childhood at any price, goes through the most dramatic experiences of her life in the space of six months. The closer she is to Julia, the more she turns her back on morality, paying no attention to the consequences or the limits of her desires.

Fantastic acting and cinematography
A wonderfully casted and acted film. Natural performances that make you feel like you are looking into the lives of the characters. Very well done.
Flatters to deceive
Puppylove seemed to be set to be a very interesting drama. It contained some unusual characters, complex relationships and had the temerity to deal with a few taboo subjects.
Then it suddenly ended.
Instead of attempting to supply solutions, or at least tackling the issues, the writers and director just seemed to give up on the problems. The ending is incredibly disappointing.
The other disappointing thing was the performance of the lead actress, Solene Rigot. Admittedly, her character was meant to be shy and sullen, but she overdid the quietness and expressionlessness. She was Kristen Stewart-like, she was that bland (and that is not a light insult).
