About This Movie

Maldonne offers this quirky blend of comedy and romance wrapped in a very personal narrative. You’ve got Juliette, this imaginative nine-year-old, who’s stuck in a wheelchair yet sees life as a game, which is such an interesting take. Her relationship with her mother, Sandrine, feels relatable and genuine, as they navigate their new life together. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to really soak in the emotional weight of Juliette's journey of self-discovery amidst her whimsical outlook on life. The performances carry a certain charm, especially how Juliette’s innocence clashes with harsh realities. It’s not flashy but distinct in how it balances lightness with deeper themes of guilt and acceptance. Worth a watch for those who appreciate character-driven stories.
