    8/10
    A sweet and poignant film
    Petite Maman is a very understated, reflective, and almost meditative film.

    Celine Sciamma uses her stripped back and beautiful film making to highlight the characters and their relationships in such sensitive way.

    We follow a young girl dealing with grief and loss, which is explored through a poignantly played out time travel scenario.

    It's a very short film, but with a lot of emotion, power, and humour packed in.

    The two young leads are great, and with not much of a supporting cast at all they had to be.

    A beautiful story with beautiful direction. Lovely.
