My Zoé

A very interesting study of a mothers love.

Julie Delpy is amazing, an auteur indeed!

I'm not sure about the science aspect, but it's a beautiful fantasy.

Julie Delpy wrote, directed, and stars in this subtle yet moving story of a mother's undying love for her daughter. She plays Isabelle, a brilliant researcher living in Germany. She's going through a difficult divorce while having an affair with another man. One day her daughter Zoe, who she dotes on, becomes ill and ends up in the hospital. There's no explanation for what happened to her, and she goes into a coma. Both she and her ex husband are devastated when their beloved daughter dies. While her husband thinks they need to move on, Isabelle saves a bit of Zoe's skin and is determined to have her cloned. This sounds futuristic, but the way the story is told, it could actually happen today. I got totally sucked into the story and found the acting brilliant. Although it's slow paced, there's an undercurrent of tension that kept me glued to the screen right until the end.

Enjoyed this short film very much with the interesting storyline and fabulous cast. Well done Julie Delpy for writing, directing and starring in this original piece of work !!

7 reviews on low volume of rating on this movie. Feel sometimes marketing and commerical is required. It's not bad drama especially ethics and humanity come to the point which to pick. Acting is amazing, Hiliary Clinton acts so well.

The movie absoluetly desires a better final... you can make it great again 😁
