Petite Maman

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.
