Solid coming-of-age French movie
Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
Filmmaker Marie Amachoukeli does a pretty good job on exploring the dynamics between child and nanny relationship through the child's perspective with strong ambitious tone, gorgeous camerawork and good performances from the cast members. The writing explores some pretty interesting themes which while some aspects were a little weak, have some good charms and emotions into the heart of the story.
The performances are pretty good as the main child performance was amazing. The characters were interesting although I wasn't fully emotionally connected with them. The camerawork is gorgeous and I found many of the dynamics and chemistry between the main two characters to be sweet and tender to observe. The biggest complaint was that due to the short runtime, certain aspects feel a little undeveloped and I wished they were explored more.
Overall, a good movie. French cinema really knows how to make some interesting and wonderful stories.
