Gets at something meager and precious about childhood. Full Review |

|
One longs for a less mawkish hand whenever this film slips into didacticism, the prime offender being Stévenin’s climactic speech to his class. Full Review |

|
Delightfully competent but slight episodic childhood drama/comedy. Full Review |

[Truffaut] ecreates childhood, and yet he sees it objectively, too: He remembers not only the funny moments but the painful ones. Full Review |

It walks the line between cloying and charming, but mostly manages to stay on the right side.
