The Birthday is a curious little drama that really nails that coming-of-age vibe. Ulysse, the protagonist, experiences something profound on his 13th birthday, and the way it unfolds feels genuine, almost raw. The pacing is steady, allowing you to settle into the atmosphere, which is a bit melancholic yet filled with that youthful anticipation. The performances are subtle but resonate well, especially with Ulysse's internal struggle. It’s not flashy, relying more on practical effects and grounded storytelling. What stands out is how it captures that moment of transition, that blend of innocence and impending adulthood. It just lingers with you, you know?
