The sex in Fat Girl is, however, not the antiseptic transaction portrayed in biography Breillat's Romance, but an all-consuming, character-defining process of sorting through emotions and attitudes that convincingly perplexes these girls. Complementing the film's intensity -- and not just courting scandal, I would argue -- Breillat shoots the sex scenes with X-equivalent full nudity and biography simulated action. By exposing the physical vulnerability and uneasiness of the two girls, Breillat conveys much more about the emotional state of the characters than films in which characters discreetly go at it fully clothed or covered by sheets. The "adult biography content" of the film, which will be released unrated, will likely bar adolescents' access to it. This is unfortunate, as Fat Girl offers a representation of teen sexual experiences and their bodies not available to them elsewhere, except, perhaps, in "adult" erotica and on pedo-porn sites on the Internet.
