Child's Play (2021) takes a distinct approach with its documentary style, blending the mundane with the absurd. It captures the quiet, often humorous struggles of a French couple in their journey to adopt. The film's pacing feels almost meandering at times, yet it creates a genuine atmosphere of anticipation and hope. There’s this interesting use of collage that juxtaposes moments of levity with deep emotion, kind of blurring the lines between reality and performance. The couple’s interactions resonate, making their frustrations and joys feel palpable. You get this sense of waiting, a long active process that echoes throughout the film. Not flashy, but deeply affecting, it’s got a unique way of drawing you into their world.
