À propos de ce film

A family with two daughters, 10-year-old Laure and 6-year-old Jeanne, moves to a new suburban neighborhood during the summer holidays. With her Jean Seberg haircut and tomboy ways, Laure is immediately mistaken for a boy by the local kids, and decides to pass herself off as "Mikael," a boy different enough to catch the attention of leader of the pack Lisa, who becomes smitten. At home with her parents and girlie younger sister, she is Laure: hanging out with her new pals and girlfriend, she is Mikael. Finding resourceful ways to hide her true self, Laure takes advantage of her new identity, as if the end of the summer would never reveal her unsettling secret. Céline Sciamma brings a light and charming touch to this contemporary coming-of-age story, which is also about relationships between children, children and parents, and the even more complicated one between one's heart and body.
MPAA Rating: NOTRATED

Notes et avis

Very good movie. A good considered lesbian movie of passion and tragic. But a good ending however could've been a bit better, but at least it sort of works out in the end.

I enjoyed this very much ! This is the cutest movie💗 The only thing that would be better would be the kids smiling at each other at the end. Or give a more detailed ending on what happens with the children.

The description clearly says that the audio language is "English" on Google play today, Wednesday March 6, 2019. However, the movie is in French, and no English audio is available, whatsoever. The information on Google Play is just dead wrong misrepresentation, which I can't figure out until after I purchase the movie. Why is it so hard to get the audio language specified correctly in the product description?
