Ma Vie en Rose

...the central idea is a provocative one and it gains considerable strength from the remarkable performance from Du Fresne as the boy convinced he'll eventually turn into a girl.

The film is careful to keep its focus within childhood. It's not a story about homosexuality or transvestism, but about a little boy who thinks he's a little girl.

...this magical, mystical film dichotomises and deconstructs transvestism, sexual identity and the innocence of children.

...Belgian director Alain Berliner's frank treatment of childhood sexuality and his wry critique of gender roles make this unusual comedy-drama one of the most radical films of the year.
