A light touch helps this small-scale drama about a young girl arriving in a new town work well
C�line Sciamma last found a UK audience with her 2007 movie Water Lilies, a disturbing drama about tensions among teenagers at a swimming pool. Her new film is a smaller-scale piece, directed with a light touch. Zo� H�ran plays Laure, a 10-year-old girl who arrives with her family one summer in a new town. Laure is a tomboy, with short hair and boys' clothes. One local girl, Lisa (Jeanne Disson), likes the look of Laure, but thinks she's a boy; insecure and vulnerable, Laure plays along with the misunderstanding. Laure's younger sister plays along, too, greatly enamoured of the fantasy of a tough, protective elder brother ? because Laure becomes a big hit as a boy, good at football, good at fighting. This feels like a literary adaptation, but is in fact an original screenplay. An interesting miniature.
