Wonderful acting
I was truly impressed by Brigitte Fossey. She was adorable and such a good actress especially in the final scene which had me crying.
shareI believe she gives the greatest performance by a child in film history.
sharei think so, too
it's so difficult for a 6 year old child to make such a performance, she was exceptional for a girl of her age
Best child performance ever in my opinion. I can't think of another child of that age who gave a better performance. Even Dakota Fanning, whose acting abilities are far beyond her years, can't come close.
This film is such a rarity...a film told from a child's point of view that is never sappy or manipulative. The emotion was real and so is the effect on the audience. I was heartbroken by the ending. What an amazing movie. The phrase "they don't make movies like this anymore" has never been more well-earned.
I hope The Spirit of the Beehive moves me as much as this film.

The Spirit of Beehive is also a great movie. But not like this one, it's somewhat confusing. I like it, but don't think I've got the point.
shareSpirit of the Beehive is an amazing film and also features some of the best child acting ever. At one point I had a good solid idea of what the film meant, but it's been so long now since I've seen it that I can't remember. I need to re-watch that one soon.

I agree. The greatest performance by a child in film history tied with Victoire Thivisol in Ponette.
