Is Léo.. (SPOILER)

Spoilers ahead:

To me psychologically Leo is healthy and more able to adapt to his changing environment as a growing teen. It was very important for him to make amends and reconcile with Remi's mom which he did. Also, I thought it was very symbolic when Leo broke his arm (he was broken both on the outside physically and on the inside psychologically/emotionally). Later, after reconciling with Remi's mom, you see Leo get his cast off and "slowly" start to move his wrist and arm again - or symbolically, he was also slowly healing from the inside wounds (emotionally) as well. I believe Leo will periodically go through various feelings of pain from his loss, but ultimately he will also go through various stages of healing and grow, live life and find happiness again.

Now with that said, I can't say the same about Remi's parents. I'm sure they blame themselves (as it's only natural as a parent to blame yourself) and they will be in deep depression for a long time. As a parent, it's something you'll never "get over it" and is just a tragedy you learn to live with. Their lives are forever changed. While the movie doesn't really focus too much on the parents, as I recall, I think they move away and are no longer living at that house anymore.

I thought this movie was incredible. Highly emotional and very intimate. The directing, acting, cinematography and score really drew me in. Loved it and I can't say enough about it. Beautiful movie. It's been a long time since I have seen a movie as exquisite as this about innocent childhood friendship. I would have to go back about 40 years to find another movie that captures the innocence and pain of childhood as this movie does. On a more general note, any and all relationships are fragile and should be cherished. All friendships have limits and consequences.
