Stella offers a glimpse into the life of an eleven-year-old girl in 1977 Paris, navigating the tricky waters of adolescence. The film's atmosphere is tinged with a sense of nostalgia, capturing that bittersweet tone of childhood and the gradual awakening to a wider world. The pacing feels measured; it allows you to absorb Stella's experiences and the stark contrasts of her life at home versus her new school environment. The performances are quite raw and genuine, particularly the lead, who embodies both innocence and a budding complexity. It's intriguing how the film weaves themes of friendship, identity, and the allure of adult worlds through the lens of a child who knows poker better than grammar, making it distinctively engaging without excessive dramatization.
