Little Girl

About This Movie

Little Girl, directed by Sébastien Lifshitz, is a deeply intimate documentary that unfolds the journey of young Sasha, who at just seven years old, navigates her identity as a girl. The film has this quiet, observational tone that feels almost like a diary rather than a traditional documentary. You get a glimpse into Sasha's family dynamics, as they grapple with societal expectations and the prejudices of their rural French community. It doesn't rush, allowing the moments of joy and struggle to breathe. What stands out is the raw authenticity of Sasha’s experience, where you feel her spirit shine through despite the challenges around her. The cinematography is simple yet poignant, capturing both the beauty of her world and the complexity of acceptance.
