Brooklynn Prince in The Florida Project (2017)
The Best Child Performances in Movie History — IndieWire Critics Survey
Brooklynn Prince in The Florida Project (2017)
Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?”, can be found at the end of this post.)

This week’s question: In honor of “The Florida Project,” which has just started its platform release across the country, what is the greatest child performance in a film?

Jordan Hoffman (@JHoffman), The Guardian, Vanity Fair

I can agonize over this question or I can go at this Malcolm Gladwell “Blink”-style. My answer is Tatum O’Neal in “Paper Moon.” She’s just so funny and tough, which of course makes the performance all the more heartbreaking. She won the freaking Oscar at age 10 for this and I’d really love to give a more deep cut response, but why screw around? Paper Moon is a perfect film and she is the lynchpin.

Ponette (1996)
10 Must-See Performances by Non-Professional Actors
Ponette (1996)
Victoire Thivisol, "Ponette" Criminally underseen "Ponette" is one of the most haunting and poignant meditations on death and childhood to ever grace the screen. When four-year-old Ponette's mother is killed in a car accident, Ponette's father drops her off at her cousins' remote cottage in the French countryside. Ponette, stunned and unable to comprehend the magnitude of her loss, begins to ask the big questions. Her inquiring child's mind is fraught with a grief-stricken child's philosophy. Director Jacques Doillon cast extraordinary four-year-old Victoire Thivisol as Ponette, who carries the weight of the film on her slight shoulders. Thivisol's performance displays the soul, nuance and depth of a seasoned actor. Thivisol's range is incredible: In some heartrending scenes, she tearfully refuses to accept her mother's death; in others, she playfully navigates the landscape of childhood, with its perennial sense of wonder. Much of the film lives on Ponette's face.

The Return Of Rene Clement’S Forbidden Games (1952)
It’s 1940, and the Nazi invasion of France is fully under way. A mother, father, a five-year-old girl and her tiny dog are among a throng of refugees fleeing Paris and jamming roads across the French countryside while German planes drop bombs and strafe their path with a relentless rain of machine gun fire. Soon the girl will be completely alone, her parents and that beloved dog all cut down in front of her eyes. But before she even has the chance to process what has happened (if she even can—on the most immediate level, she believes they’re only asleep), she’s given a ride by an older couple, one of whom cruelly flings the animal’s corpse, the only thing the girl has been able to save of her now-devastated familiar world, into a creek. The girl, Paulette (Brigitte Fossey), jumps off their wagon, retrieves the dog...

The new wave of child stars
Once upon a time, child stardom was the road to dysfunction and ruined youth; but Hollywood's new brood of young actors are smart, talented and in complete control

In the last few weeks you can't have failed to be aware of Will Smith's pint-sized 12-year-old son Jaden; he's been unleashed at film premieres from Beijing to Berlin. Sometimes he's even worn a little Michael Jackson outfit. Smith Jr is promoting the remake of The Karate Kid; he stars, mum and dad are producers. To casual observers that might look a lot like the Smith dynasty are simply installing generation 2.0. But it turns out that Jaden Smith is actually pretty good; he plays everykid with as much charm as his dad ever did. And now The Karate Kid is a bona fide international hit, Jaden is likely to join the growing bunch of child actors – scarily professional and highly talented...

Can Jennifer Lawrence Become the Second Youngest Best Actress Nominee?
I was writing up my little filmbytes column for popbytes and decided to spotlight Jennifer Lawrence as a rising star.

I'm very curious as to whether or not tiny Roadside Attractions can push Winter's Bone towards Oscar as relentlessly as "Ree Dolly*" pursues her missing film dad. Jennifer is the film's best Oscar bet but perhaps it could go further than just Best Actress? For a gritty rural drama that doesn't exactly coddle its audience, I was surprised to learn recently that the movie has already grossed $3 million in a month's time. That's impressive. That means people, and not just critics, like it. When both civilians and critics like things, AMPAS voters often figure they might ought to watch it.

But how's this for a statistic? If Jennifer Lawrence, who is currently 19, does secure a robust campaign and then a Best Actress nomination in January, she'll be the second youngest nominee ever in that category.
