AN EASY GIRL (2020) Stream on Netflix. Summer, sex and salt water: These are some of the ingredients in this latest film from the French director Rebecca Zlotowski. A tale of two cousins, “An Easy Girl” is told from the perspective of Naïma (Mina Farid), a 16-year-old preparing to start a culinary summer internship on the French Riviera. The story kicks off with the surprise arrival of Naïma’s older cousin, Sofia (Zahia Dehar), who hooks up with a pair of rich, yacht-riding older men (Nuno Lopes and Benoît Magimel) — and helps usher in Naïma’s coming of age. “Sultry, but never sleazy, observant yet nonjudgmental, ‘An Easy Girl’ is more than just a tale of innocence and experience,” Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in her review for The New York Times.
