Inspired by events that took place in Massachusetts, Delphine and Muriel Coulin's provocative debut focuses on a group of bored teenage girls who all make an irrevocable pact. When Camille (Louise Grinberg) accidentally becomes pregnant, she encourages her friends and fellow high school classmates to follow suit. It's only a matter of time, before 17 girls in the high school are pregnant and the town is thrown into a world of chaos. Set in the writer/directors' small, seaside hometown of Lorient in Brittany, 17 Girls is a reflection on adolescence, body image, friendship and the perplexing realities of growing up. -- (C) Official SiteIf You Like this movie you can streaming 17 Girls movie without downloading HERE

TagLine 17 GirlsReview For Movie 17 Girls
17 Girls is allegedly inspired by true events, but this diffident, dreamy film is so insubstantial it's hard to believe there's a speck of reality to be found in it.Connie Ogle-Miami Herald
The film suggests a state of grace between childhood and adulthood, but the narrative feels increasingly tentative, and the characters remain opaque - "local divas," in one teacher's estimation.
Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times
The question is why this incident seemed worth dramatizing, especially in such a dreamily romanti-cized way - with perfect pregnancies and friendly baby daddies.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
The movie takes you inside the dreamy collective mentality of bored, mildly rebellious girls who look with horror at the lives of their mostly working-class parents.
Stephen Holden-New York Times
The movie needs a tighter grip, yet the narrative detours, including a beach party and one especially liberating confrontation, can be surprisingly joyous.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
The film's rhythms mimic the volatile emotional life of adolescence: the violent rushes between euphoria and despair, the overconfident contempt for adults mixed with regressive dependence when things fall apart.
Ella Taylor-NPR
The Coulin sisters spin a web of ironic, double-edged fantasy over the girls of Lorient and their child's-eye view of life.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
The wonder of this remarkable film is that it retains an innocence of its own, even while alluding to the darkness on the horizon.
Chris Barsanti-PopMatters
Exceedingly well-done film, based on a real news story, which addresses a growing international youth dilemma.
David Noh-Film Journal International
It's a subtle cautionary tale that also serves as an insightful if exaggerated examination of contemporary adolescence.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
17 Girls has a nice look, and strong performances, but ultimately, the Coulins fail to go deeply enough into the heads of their protagonists.
Noel Murray-AV Club
At which point does a superficially "nonjudgmental" approach simply seem coy rather than sincerely evenhanded?
Kenji Fujishima-Slant Magazine
The story is remarkable in that it does an honest telling of real life events and does it accurately, too.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
Delphine and Muriel Coulin make their feature film debut using the real life 2008 'pregnancy pact' scandal of Gloucester, Massachusetts as a jumping off point for a stunning looking contemplation on the often obsessive romanticism of teenaged girls.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
...it's ultimately clear that there just isn't enough story here to sustain a full-length feature...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
A rare film focusing on the feelings, fears, dreams and emotions of girls.
