01/14/2018 Every teen-aged girl should watch this !! Never stop believing in yourself, girls. See more 04/16/2016 A beautiful film about a neglected Quebec population. See more 04/16/2016 I loved this movie. It made me feel sad and uplifted at the same time. See more 04/16/2016 A touching movie about a young girl struggling to overcome the hardships of poverty and the loss of her mother. I was taken by the realistic feel of the movie and the many great characters that Fern encounters from the entertaining, kind and helpful cook to the unhappy neighbor who makes Fern's life tougher than it already is. A good choice if you're looking for a thoughtful coming of age movie . See more Read all reviews
