| And then, if the book is mediocre at best, definitely do NOT see the movie. To make this a film, for some reason the girl is given a video camera rather than a diary. Why? Is watching someone squint into a camera inherently more compelling than watching someone write? Anyway, this is a puff piece at best with Josiane Balasko cast as a stereotype...the concierge with a secret life. She did her best with a poor script. |

| This movie was a marvelous character study/coming of age movie about a little girl who plans to commit suicide. Rather than being depressing, the movie is filled with multi-dimensional complex characters who charm the viewer as well as the little girl. The ending is life affirming and leaves the viewer feeling light as a feather! |
