Reviews for Small Change
[Truffaut] ecreates childhood, and yet he sees it objectively, too: He remembers not only the funny moments but the painful ones.
It walks the line between cloying and charming, but mostly manages to stay on the right side.
Truffaut is so precise with his observations and unintrusive with the camera that we feel as if we are seeing a documentary instead of contrived movie scenarios.
One longs for a less mawkish hand whenever this film slips into didacticism, the prime offender being Stévenin’s climactic speech to his class.
