Tomboy

For some reason Tomboy has not received a lot of attention, but in my opinion it is one of the best films of 2011. It is reminiscent in many ways of Kimberly Peirce’s Boys Don’t Cry, where the female protagonist passes herself off as a boy. Young Zoé Héran is excellent as ten year old Laure. The acting is terrific from every member of the cast, which obliterates the argument that there are no talented child actors.
