The Hedgehog
Description
The movie revolves around Paloma, an 11-year-old girl quietly and unhappily living in a luxurious Paris apartment with her family. She plans on ending it all on her upcoming twelfth birthday, but things change when she meets some kindred spirits in her building's grumpy concierge and an enigmatic, elegant neighbor, both of whom inspire Paloma to question her rather pessimistic outlook on life.

This a movie with such a light, stylish touch, it makes no claims to profundity and is a sweetly hopeful experience.

"The Hedgehog" sneaks up on you with its heartfelt storytelling and sophisticated wit.

A French drama that finds its power in the little moments.

"The Hedgehog" is a treat: a movie that's smart, grown-up, wry and deeply moving.

Le Guillermic is fine in this calm comedy of subverted exteriors and expectations, but it's the remarkably unpretentious -- earthy, even -- Balasko who anchors Achache's adaptation.
