FlemishCatOctober 15, 2025What a sweet, compassionate film about young women, teen moms, in one of the most difficult periods of their lives. The film is so well directed and acted, it almost comes across like a documentary.
I really hope that many women in this situation (teen pregnancies) encounter so much help and compassion as the women in this film.
Excellent work by the Dardenne brothers, once again.
It was also fun to attend my final Vancouver Int'l Film Festival of 2025 screening in the new (to me) movie theatre at the Alliance Française in Vancouver. What a beautiful building!

Lucia FrangioneOctober 5, 2025This is an astonishingly honest film: vulnerable, gritty, unexpected, fragile. I loved every minute of this film, even though it also had me holding my breath, awash with dread. The writer and director captured the authentic trauma as experienced through the children with children. This film earned its hope. I am so grateful I saw it.
