Mi niña

Focus on the tender and accomplice relationship between a mother of 3 children and her last daughter, during the last months before the baccalaureat, a French academic qualification in order to graduate high school. Dixit Hodding Carter, "there are two things we should give our children: one is roots and the other is wings". This mom has understood the two parts but the second one (i.e. the wings) is obviously more difficult to apprehend.

If you ask me I must say that "Sweetheart" is a beautiful, touching and strong movie. I absolutely believe that many people can relate to "Sweetheart".

In the movie we are introduced to Héloïse, a single mother to three teenagers. Héloïses youngest child Jade is about to leave her home and study in Canada. I can see and feel that Héloïse is having difficulties when it comes to letting go of Jade for a while. Héloïse faces a kind of identity change. Who will she become when her youngest child moves? I think that "Sweetheart" portrayed all of this in a personal, genuine and nice way. The flashbacks were interesting to watch. Maybe they could have been a tiny bit longer.

I didn´t regret watching "Sweetheart". You should give it a chance too! For me it didn´t matter that I´m not a parent. "Sweetheart" was still rewarding to watch. Merci to the cast and crew!

Touchant et beau. Je comprends pas pourquoi ce film n'a que 6/10 c'est ridicule!

Touching and beautiful, I cant believe this only has 6/10! Ridiculous.

This was the first film I watched on my 40th birthday. It might seem like an unusual choice for a middle aged English speaking Canadian male to watch a French film about a mother and daughter, but I'm glad I watched it. The film is lovely and charming, anchored by strong and believable performances from Sandrine Kiberlain and Thaïs Alessandrin. I would definitely recommend this tender and touching film to anyone who appreciates a nice film. My rating is an 8/10.
