Teen Spirit (review)

Elle Fanning plays a continuously-sullen teen who enters a national singing competition in England. Her story isn’t especially interesting, even with the addition of a faded opera singer as her manager/mentor. She does a good job with the vocals, but the relationships and evolution of her quick rise are rather flat and uninteresting (most of that credit has to go to writer/director Max Minghella). The weirdest thing was that the big final show is moodily lit, which makes it almost impossible to see the singers’ faces…not realistic for TV at all. The pop tunes and music production was the most enjoyable thing about the film.
