Thanks to our community cinema for picking up this great movie again! In an environment of homophobia lately, it’s important to realize the beauty of being different and not conforming to the "norm" whatever that may be. There is a deep friendship developing between Lisa and Michael, getting disrupted briefly by exposing Michael‘s/Laure‘s "real" identity. But in the end, why would you care, as long as they are happy? While the movie is a bit open ended, I hope that the clique eventually will accept him/her for what they are, and maybe even the somewhat single-minded mother can agree to that.

Wonderful movie, Zoe Heran is very convincing.

This is a great and sensitive story about a girl who feels like a boy. It’s maybe not an explicit trans story as it is set before puberty hits you right in the face, but there are certainly strong indicators. The casting of the three main actors, Laure/Michael, Lisa, and Jeanne, is superb. Laure has always felt and behaved like a boy, taking the opportunity to introduce herself as Michael when they move into a new neighborhood, and is accepted as such. There are a couple of "technical" issues Michael has to overcome with a talent for improvisation. Also great to see how sister Jeanne embraces her new big brother. While the reaction of the mother, constantly trying to "correct" the boyish behavior of her daughter, is much less than perfect, the ending gives a bit of hope. A fairly short (about 80min) but truly impressive movie.

This is a very impressive movie. Here we have Laure/Michael coming to a new neighborhood and presenting himself as the boy he has a "real" girl friend, and whatever your opinion is, this is honest. A true testament that what you feel is not a subject of choice but simply given what you are.
