The R rating ought to be examined more closely. He is never bratty and one's heart goes to him because no child should suffer for something they didn't create and have no control about who they really are. Little Georges de Fresne does excellent work under Mr. In fact, it shows how resilient little Ludovis is in spite of all the rejection he suffers at the hands of his peers, as well as the adults, who should have a better understanding of the situation. It also has a lot of messages for the viewer, but those issues are lightly handled by the writers, who had the common sense of treating the film in such manner, instead of throwing it one's face. 'Ma vie en rose' is a film that has the courage to tackle a subject that is different from all what one sees in mainstream movies. The idea of Ludovic, the young boy, who thinks of himself as a girl, has been discussed in some of the wonderful comments submitted to IMDb. Thanks to IFCTV, which is airing it lately, we revisited it, and again, we were charmed by this unpretentious movie that has its heart in the right places. We first saw this excellent film in a film festival before its commercial release. While this is a co-production, the film is a Belgian movie, as well as its talented director, Alain Berliner, who co-wrote the screen treatment with Chris Vander Stappen.

Most comments submitted to this forum seem to give credit to the French cinema for bringing 'Ma vie en rose' to the screen.
