It turns out his grandmother, Helen Mirren as Grand-mère, is a world famous artist in town for a special event honoring her life's work. She visits Julian and she is the one who corrects him. Then, the rest of this movie is basically a flashback to Autumn 1942 in a small French community after the Nazi Germans took control, then spanning 1943 and I presume part of 1944. With a short return to modern day New York at the end of the movie to show how Julian's attitude was changed by his grandmother's story.
British actress Ariella Glaser, about 14 or 15, is the main character, Sara Blum, a Jewish schoolgirl who was persecuted, had to go into hiding, and who grew up to be the artist and grandmother of Julien. She tells him her story to illustrate how attitude and behavior are everything in human existence. Using the analogy that darkness cannot overcome darkness, you need the light and that is the human experience.
Also good is young Australian actor Orlando Schwerdt as Julien Beaumier, a young boy who had been impacted by polio and now wore an awkward leg brace. Julien was a kind person who played a big role in Sara's survival and who was the inspiration for naming the grandson Julian.
Also good is American actress Gillian Anderson as Vivienne Beaumier, helping hide young Sara and serving as a surrogate mother in the absence of her parents.
This is a very good and well-made movie with a worthwhile story. The young actress that plays teenage Sara is remarkably good.
My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.
As an added bonus, the cinematography and production are exceptional with an effective soundtrack. The young actors look like they are as experienced as the two much older stars mentioned previously.
This is not a story of the Holocaust, it's a story of hope, kindness and courage in the darkest of times. That's what it promises and that's what it delivers.
No there aren't any Nazi camps portrayed, but it is an accurate depiction of what it felt and what it meant to be a Jew in those times, alienated and fearful for your life.
I haven't seen the Wonder movie and can't compare but a 7.2 rating for this movie is absurdly low. This is one of the standout movies of 2024 for me so far, one of meaning and hope and I wouldn't mind watching it again or recommending to a friend.
So go watch it without being influenced by a discouraging review.
The cinematography, set design, costume and all those things we only notice if there is something wrong was just perfect. Orlando Schwerdt, Mirren, Anderson and the evil of Jim Mathews were all spectacular performances. Narrated by Mirren, this movie was a must see for anyone specially if they have kids entering any school.
The landscape of this beautiful French town questions my sanity of why I don't travel enough. Overall, this is a story about kindness and the lack of it. The pressure of trying to fit in and being afraid; not understanding what true strength really is. Since Mirren was also in the present, I felt safe watching the story unfold because she would survive. I wish it could have been presented a tiny bit differently so this safety would have been removed. Besides this, the movie delivered the message of choice and strength.
We all have little birds in our lives; we might not know we have them until you are in a position that offers it. Then, the little bird shows up and it gives you an existential placement.
I recommend you watch this film and check the room for light and wonder. It's so true, kindness is stronger than all the other options available. We are but memory of all the choices we make in life and the history we create. We develop our own paths in a direction and it can be modified at any moment. The most courageous people are all around us. The wolves will one day come for us all. Will you be ready ?

- CuriosidadesOriginally set for a release on September 16, 2022, it was pushed to October 14, 2022. Later that month, the film was quietly removed from the schedule and pushed to August 25, 2023, due to underperforming at the Fall (2021 box office). It was also pushed again to an unspecified date due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
- Erros de gravaçãoGrandmère mentions that Julian was expelled from Beecher Prep as a consequence of his bullying Auggie in Wonder (2017). However, in that film, Julian was never expelled from Beecher Prep for bullying Auggie. He received a two-day suspension and upon hearing this, his parents decided to pull him out of the school at the conclusion of that school year.

Grand-mère: Hatred is not normal. Cruelty is not normal. Love is normal. Kindness is normal. But simply knowing this is not enough. It must be shared. It must be practiced. Sometimes the smallest gesture can lead to the greatest change. A very wise man, Martin Luther King, once said, 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only the light can do that.' ... We must, all of us, use the light within ourselves, to stop the injustices of today. For only then can we be certain that the darkness of the past will never be repeated.
