A family moves into a new neighborhood, and a 10-year-old born Laure deliberately presents as a boy named Mickäel to the neighborhood children. It is heavily implied that Mickäel is a closeted transgender boy. This film follows his experiences with his newfound friends, his potential love interest, Lisa, his younger sister and his parents. It focuses in on the significance of gender identity in social interaction from an early age, the difficulties of being transgender and young, and how Mickäel navigates these in the background of childhood play and love.
Leave your thoughts about Tomboy.
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneTomboy is one of those little big films whose simplicity and concision suggest the excess of meaning that language (cinematic or otherwise) could never account for. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThe story that emerges is programmatic and largely unsurprising, but these children give it messiness, joy and life. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardSciamma (Water Lilies) deserves great praise for what she has accomplished with a simple film addressing a complex subject. |
| Boston PhoenixGerald PearyTomboy was the deserving Jury winner at the Berlin Film Festival of the Teddy Award for the Best Gay or Lesbian film. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTomboy is tender and affectionate. It shows us Laure/Mikael in an adventure that may be forgotten in adulthood or may form her adulthood. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanSweet and well observed, the film takes us inside a typical family in a typical Paris suburb - and gives us a spin |
| At the Movies (Australia)Margaret PomeranzThis exquisite film is as pure as you can get; it's observational, it's minimalist, there's no intrusive music except where it is part of the action. |
| Movie DearestFr. Chris CarpenterExquisite. Young lead actress Zoe Heran gives one of several beautifully-nuanced performances in this sensitive, compassionate movie. The best GLBT-themed narrative film of 2011. |
| Time OutDavid FearTomboy may add little to conversations about gender or sexuality. It has everything to say, however, about that period of childhood when identity is at its most malleable. |
| Knight at the MoviesRichard KnightThe director's low-key approach to such a seemingly complex topic really illuminates the subject in both very basic and rather profound ways. |
