a gem

"Les petites mains" is , first, just an experience. A film about a terrible mistake as result of angry. With a surprising, moving, fascinating end. The cinematography is just great and the scenes of the man and child in the forest, the looks, the touches, the silence are magnificent. A film about a profound change and one of the most cinematographic inspires definitions of the essence of life. Absolutely, splendid.

By far the best short film that I have seen in a long time!

Unique storytelling through the eyes of an infant. Totally Gripping and fascinating from the beginning to the end.

Oscar Worthy Short Film

In this gripping film told from the point of view of a toddler, Remi Allier has succeeded in articulating this young child's perspective through a masterful use of cinematography and flawless performances. Little Hands brilliantly addresses the complexities at hand in today's ever evolving global economy with its child protagonist providing a microcosmic and humbling view of a power struggle much greater than any one of us.

Terrific

This looks like a Lucas Belvaux's feature. Taut, sharp, powerful, this film grabs you to the guts and obstructs your throat. I now wait for this new director to proceed to the big screen. I am deadly sure that this man has the same Lucas Belvaux DNA. Remember LA RAISON DU PLUS FAIBLE. And not only. The best of the social topic, tragic, unfortunately faithful to reality.

Trivia
When Emile Moulron Lejeune is looking at his father in the office, or walking through the crowd at the beginning of the film, the actors were asked to act softly and silently when the baby was on set, so that he would not be scared. So Rémi Allier asked him to look for his father, as a game. That way he was really focused, and intrigued at the same time, because he was facing a group of 50 strangers, standing still and he knew that his father was in the middle of them.... At the end of the take, in the rushes, he starts to laugh proudly, because he finally found his daddy .
