Powerful and heartbreaking

First of all, I d like to say that i am French and we dont see many French movies like this. Our producers are afraid to greenlight genre movies as they think us French are not into it. They are so wrong!Here Leo Karmann makes a Steven Spielberg's style movies French. He doesnt hide his love for E. T. as well as many Spielberg movies and many scenes are clearly an hommage. The lighting, the lenses used, the children's height point of view serve a very beautiful story.We meet Simon when he s eight. He's a very lonely orphan who has a shape shifting gift, but only with people he had physically touched. When he finally meets a family who loves him and has a special bonds with the two kids, things turn out in a way that will change the life of everyone.I will not say more so that you ll discover this beautiful story.I must say that the cast is awesome but kuddos to the kiddos and teens who are particularly well chosen.Finally, I liked that the script was not forgetting any details, made all this believable and coherent.Fantastic movie. You may want to keep a box of tissues near by.
