So do you think the title means
"A Very Young Girl"
or
"An Authentic Young Girl"

Just not sure what they mean by "real"... this is a stupid question, but I was just curious.

"vraie" (the original French title) means "authentic" and cannot mean the other one (otherwise it would be "Une très jeune fille".

I'm quite sure that it means "authentic". otherwise the "vraie" in the french title would have the function of an adverb, like this: "une fille vraiment jeune".

In french , "une vraie jeune fille" means a virgin !!!

Were I to translate it, I would not say "an authentic young girl". Rather, I would say, "A real young girl". French has a word for authentic, "vrai(e)" means "real".

I always thought that they should have titled it "She Likes To Hide Stuff." The spoon off the dinner table?!? Rocks off the train tracks?!? What the hell was wrong with this chick?
