Tied with Vers la tendresse (2016).

"Frame for frame, scene for scene, this story unfolds beautifully. The director definitely draws us into many points of view within a family in a midst of a crisis but its her sensitive portrayal of an eight year old girl and the emotional impact on her and her father that won us over. This piece exhibits excellence in writing and directing. It's a staggering debut that leaves us eager to see more from her."

"For its daring and revelatory exploration of a family's dysfunction and upheaval through the eyes of a child and its refusal to cast characters as villains but rather as complex, and highly conflicted, human beings the jury selects Maman(s). The jury also wanted to acknowledge the vulnerable, defiant performance of the gifted Sokhna Diallo."
