Bernard the Great is one of those offbeat films that really gets into the psyche of a child stuck in a world that feels alien. The tone is a mix of whimsy and deep existential dread, as Bernard grapples with the idea of growing up. I mean, who hasnât felt that disconnect with adults? The pacing is a bit uneven but works for the story; it creates a sense of floating in this surreal world. The practical effects used for Bernard's growth-stopping suit are charmingly homemade, which adds to the film's unique aesthetic. Performances are earnest, and you can feel Bernardâs struggle in every scene. Definitely a distinctive take on childhood and the pressures of adulthood.
