Tomboy (2011)

Tomboy is an astoundingly good little movie. A trans kid who is maybe nine or ten tells the kids in his new neighborhood that his name is Mickäel instead of Laure. Sciamma has gotten absolutely gorgeous performances out of her child stars, Zoé Héran and Malonn Lévana, and we get to watch their relationship with their parents, which is deeply touching, and watch little Mickäel figure out how he wants to move about in the world. I loved this.
