      • Jan 13, 2012
        Sweet film about a boy who desparately wants to be a girl. An interesting study of gender issues at a very young age. That little chap is charming.

        Off-beat gender bender that's at times funny, at times poignant, and always entertaining. <i>Ma Vie En Rose</i> manages to vilify our collective ignorance without insulting our sensibilities. A truly remarkable film. <br/><br/>*High marks for set decoration and cinematography as well as casting and direction.

        Magical, lyrical, funny and touching. Perfect little film about gender identity, gender roles, acceptance, tolerance and coming of age.

        Writer and director Alain Berliner has made a fresh film about what it takes to survive in a world where people still measure others by codes of conformity, prejudice, and small-mindedness. The incomparable Ludovic stands his ground. Ma Vie En Rose isn't necessarily trying to advance an agenda, and it's not a movie about homosexual issues. It's about someone who is convinced he's something that physiologically he's not. Maybe it's just a phase he's going through, maybe he'll grow up to be gay. The movie doesn't really address that. It's about what is going on in Ludovic's head right now. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=MaVie.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/MaVie.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
