Most helpful review Ma Vie En Rose

  • Magical, stunning, heartwarming - a must see film

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Every once in a while there comes a film that turns out to be a complete knock-out. Ma vie en rose is such a film and although the story seems simple (see review above) it is difficult to find words for this cinematic masterpiece. Apart from the stunning performance by George Du Fresne as Ludovic I would also commend the 'child's eye' camera work throughout the film. Seeing the world through the eyes of a 7 year old boy give a unique perspective not only about his perception of the real and the fantasy world but also puts a mirror to the often hypocritical world around him. This is not film you can watch and forget but you may wonder how you managed to miss it until now.

    Unfortunately the DVD does not contain any worthwhile extras but the film is worth every second.

    If you are still thinking about getting this DVD stop here and order it now! Your life needs this film!

  • Fantastic film

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    Beautiful, funny, sad, moving, brilliant.

    Is difficult to find a film that can be sad and at the same time funny.

    This really young boy and his family( mainly the young boy) has to go through so much ordeal because a very close minded town.

    Is funny the way the parents uncommonly take the their son's inclination at first.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I watched Ma Vie en Rose yet again recently and found it as heartwarming and quirky as the first time I watched it. Is 7 year old Ludo going through a chlidish fantasy? Is there a deeper psychological issue? Was his extra 'X' chromosone a scientific error? The questions are unanswered but others are asked of the adults' reactions. The mood is lifted (visually) by the child's view of proceeedings, especially the Pam and Ben (a Belgian Barbie and Ken?) interludes. And when you thought it couldn't get worse for out erstwhile hero(ine), there is a redemption.

    ...Almost French!

    This Belgian foray into what is typically a French-only-style film is well thought out and acted for a B-movie, but it falls quite short of the mark for the big-time. Don't get me wrong though, this is well worth watching as for most of the film, it works and entertains with the tale of a young boy who wants to be a woman when he grows up. Only the ending seems a tad lost in the 'story', not really leaving you with the 'I've just watched a good film' - feeling.

  • A good film until the last 4 minutes...

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By MisterBenson (1 review) from Brighton , 02 May 2009
    I really enjoyed this film. Ok so some of the plot is a bit iffy, but it's nicely filmed and kept me entertained throughout apart from the final four minutes. The ending, I thought, was particularly weak. The relationship between mother and son reaches an incredibly low point and then thirty seconds later they all lived happily ever after... Still, it was an enjoyable film, entertaining, fairly light and amusing.
