What a debut!

Agathe Riedinger's film does not reproduce romantic clichés. It is wonderfully authentic and, like life, unsweetened. Flawless acting and the development of characters that are hard not to get attached to. An excellent script that consciously - with a maturity rarely seen among debuts - avoids the beaten paths of drama. The director hints at them and then consistently leads us down a different route. The reality of this film is far from the black-and-white simplifications to which decades of patriarchal narrative have accustomed us. Here, the woman is the subject. Beautiful cinema, unbelievable debut. 10/10.

Ethos of Work and Family in the 21st Century

"Wild Diamond" is a film that is absolutely not for everyone, but for those sensitive to social affairs and culture. It tells the story of Liane, a woman searching for her identity, her value, her mission, and ultimately, her family. Liane is an extreme example of a lost personality in the modern world, reminiscent of Camus' concept of the rebellious man. She hesitates to take the final step towards complete liberation, while simultaneously discovering what she so deeply desires. What might be missing from the film is a deeper exploration of the main character's inner thoughts. Ultimately, we have to infer her reflections from the events, words, and incidents that unfold dynamically. These primarily introduce us to her desires, not necessarily to her heart.
