Love Like Poison film review and trailer

Augarde plays fourteen year-old Anna. Returning home from boarding school, Anna is confronted by a series of events that combine to the tip the balance between adolescence and beckoning adulthood.

The separation of her parents, the distress of her first funeral and her complicated feelings for eager choirboy Pierre (Thierry Neuvic) are all stepping stones on the road to an uncertain future. Augarde’s vulnerability and growing confidence make Anna a compelling figure in this sombre tale.
