Céline Sciamma (2021)
Joséphine Sanz, Gabrielle Sanz, Nina Meurisse Rated U Run time 73 minsOr Little Mother: Sciamma follows her brilliant Portrait of a Lady on Fire with an equally compelling tale of loss, memory, imagination, and – yes – magic which is rooted in place and the every day.
Superb performances from the Sanz sisters anchor this emotional and ultimately uplifting gem of a movie. A must-see and Mark Kermode’s favorite film of 2021!
