'Petit Maman' (2021)
Celiné Sciamma's charming film, "Petit Maman," is carefully set in early fall, a particularly enigmatic period of time where everything is in transition between summer joy and winter solemnity. We meet 8-year-old Nelly (Joséphine Sanz) as she's bidding adieu to the women in the nursing home in which her grandmother has just passed away. Along with her grieving mother, Marion (Nina Meurisse), and lackadaisical father (Stéphane Varupenne), the young girl goes to her grandmother's house, where her mother grew up, in order to clear it out for the last time.
