A ridiculously charming, hyper-stylized animated tale on childhood, single parenthood, and growing up in French society. I deeply connected with this film during its very short 73 minute runtime. It truly felt like a breeze, yet I believe the narrative itself demands no more than such an amount in order to tell a wonderful and effective story. The voice performances are excellent, the animation a feast for the eyes. The absurdity of the premise and the film’s artistic/metaphorical embellishment (and, occasionally, negative depiction) of life in the French projects is used to exert a significant amount of political commentary on French society, adding to the maturity of its style and its ability to connect with audiences of all ages. Certainly one of the highlights to come out of Cannes’ ACID program and Annecy 2023.
