So, Matilde (2013) is quite the curious little piece. It presents this shy yet brilliantly spirited girl trying to navigate her way through a classroom that feels a bit stifling. The film intertwines her passions for hairdressing and tennis, which gives it a unique spin. The pacing is pretty interesting, not rushed but certainly engaging enough to keep you invested in her journey. The performances have this raw quality, especially from the lead—she's simultaneously vulnerable and determined, which makes her relatable. Plus, there’s a certain charm to the practical effects that feels grounded, contrasting with her imaginative world.
