This movie is fantastic.

What you can get from watching this movie cannot be described, which is a sort of power you can feel, which is something pure that grown-ups have lost.

It's been ten years since its release. But it's still powerful when I watch it today. My hear is grabbed by the little girl. She is confused by her mother's death; she doesn't accept the reality; she believes she would see the mom again. She lives in pain which others are not able to understand. No one understands her; no one can help her; her father even thinks she's crazy. But what she feels and expects is precious, which has been lost by adults.

Victoire Thivisol's acting is incredible. I never thought a 4-year-old could perform at such a level. She's great.
