A French family with two daughters, 10-year-old Laure and 6-year-old Jeanne, moves to a new neighborhood. With her Jean Seberg haircut and tomboy ways, Laure is immediately mistaken for a boy by the local kids and passes herself as Michael. Sciamma's adept direction along with revelatory performances from her young cast, which recall Francois Truffaut's films about childhood, produce a film that manages to never hit a wrong note while exploring a hugely complex topic. Laure/Michael's story is one that has never really been told on film and will hopefully be one that captures the public's attention. The delicacy, honesty, and candor of Tomboy makes it a film not to be missed and one that everyone should see!
