The Model

If you feel like wasting 1 hour and half of your day, please go watch this film. The dialogues are shallow and dull, the main characters personality and behavior are disgraceful and immoral, plus, as you keep watching you'll realize the plot is as bad as it can get. The acting seems descente enough, though, I'll give you that.

Great movie. The film starts off portraying a young girl simply chasing her dreams and falling in love, but it later develops into something much more twisted and sinister. To me is a reminder of how cruel the world can be and also how our actions in the real world always carry consequences, and that there's no escaping reality.

The tone of the movie is good. I don't feel relax watching the stuff that happens. You can see that is a grounded in reality that this can happen to a model. The ending is good too. It her choice if she wants to go back that hellish glamorous world of fashion or back to her comfort zone.

I really loved this film. That's quite an accomplishment for a story that is dark, and characters who are unsympathetic. But it raises important issues that need to be examined and discussed. Very well acted, well directed, written and edited. I can understand why some people might not like a film that poses controversial questions, and fearlessly goes where most dare not tread. But I appreciated that it dared to go to those places. It's a great film to discuss if you have open minded, intelligent friends who appreciate that victimization isn't always as clear cut as we would like it to be. Or, you may just end up losing friends afterwards. #NOTaMEtooStory

Geeze this movie had a lot of potential. I know it was an over dramatization of a real situation, but i feel like this movie could have delivered so much more. There are parts of the movie that are really strong, and you become intrigued and you feel very invested in the movie, but it falls flat almost immediately. The ending somewhat saved it, but you don't necessarily feel her loss, you just feel somewhat benign. I would love to see a remake of this movie, but with a better screenplay. I loved the lead male photographer and female model. you also see full front of a very hairy dude. Hes hot but not well groomed. thats not a spoiler. its just a fact.

... would a highly successful fashion-photographer get involved w-a teenager having not a clue regarding her-actual-age ... highly-unlikely... & that's basically most important bit regarding entire production... (can that be a spoiler) ... boring-script uninteresting-characters... (FTR Palm was born in '93)

This is a strong, solid film...has alot going for it believable performance by Maria Palm as we experience Paris fashion world through her eyes.skillfully played out. Im not into high fashion and didn't think I would like this film but loved it. Great use of cinema, tactile, unpredictable, lively engaging. Crew put in some solid effort with editing and soundtrack and mixing is quite brilliant , casting great too- hats off. Where budget may have been lacking the filmaker concentrated on story and characters and it worked. The film is fresh and you don't miss what bigger budgets give because the script is so good. The film also has just the right pacing with room to Breathe and think, something rare nowadays. A Great achievement all around I'm looking forward to seeing what this director can do with a bigger budget, knock out socks off I'm sure!

I quite enjoyed this film even if it was a bit unrealistic. For example what parent would allow one so young to go to Paris alone to pursue a modelling career? Also, success seems to come quickly and easily to Emma which seems at odds with most other portrayals of this business. She seems to operate largely on her own, navigating this teeming world in relative isolation and most of the ill-fated events are engineered by her. Yes, many of the men she meets are opportunists but none act until Emma more or less gives the go-ahead. Her passivity strikes me more as sullen disregard for protocol than naivety and she continues to flourish despite her unsophisticated and childish responses to that very cynical and brutal world. Even at the end she can have success if she chooses it and this was the most disappointing aspect of the film-the ending. A real let down. OK we can make up our own mind about why it ended this way and what happens next but I don't want to do that-I want the film maker to provide the answer-to complete the theme of the narrative.

I voted 7 of 10 cause it has a message . Basically it's an emotional roller-coaster where you are trying to decide if you should hate or feel sorry for the main character . Well.. i don't do reviews , but there are at least 700 movies i liked more , but i bothered to review this one . I'm not sure how well it reflect the reality of a young model in Paris , but certainly it's disturbing . It's not your standard issue action , comedy , or romance movie , and that is why is so captivating . Earlier i mentioned it's a 'rollercoaster' , well it's a special kind . After each loop , the actions become even more disturbing , until it reaches it's climax , but even after that , a phone call arrives . After so many messed up and unfortunate events the main character gets it's lifetime opportunity . And we are left hanging on this last choice of hers ( accepting or refusing ), as we don't get a response . It leaves you really thinking about things that are not obvious for the ordinary people and what hides under the smile of a supermodel (or it could be a cliffhanger for the second part , who knows...)

Maybe without the Neon and definitely not as good as the Refn movie I'm referring too. But still quite good for a B-movie with a similar story. The life of models is a tough one you see? But how tough and how people are handling the issues that arise depends on the person themselves and how they act and react to certain situations. Having said that, be aware that there is nudity, though that should not be the main selling point nor the main reason why you should avoid it (hopefully). Very powerful performances and a really good well thought of script (with some clichés thrown in for good measure of course as always), that will keep the suspense up until the end.
