Trop tard Balthazar is a curious blend of comedy and drama, capturing that tumultuous moment in adolescence with a certain rawness. The film follows Pivoine, a 13-year-old girl who escapes her parents' bickering on a vacation, which feels very relatable. The pacing is somewhat meandering but it allows for a deeper dive into her emotional landscape. Pivoine’s encounter with Rouquin, a young legionnaire, adds a layer of spontaneous camaraderie. Their chemistry feels genuine, giving a sense of freedom and rebellion. The performances, particularly from the younger cast, are surprisingly evocative, underscoring themes of escape and self-discovery. It’s not flashy but has an emotional authenticity that lingers after the credits roll.
