Petite Maman – Sydney Film Festival Review

Mothers, Daughters, And Time Travel? I've had Celine Sciamma's Portrait Of A Lady On Fire on my watchlist since it came out in 2019 and still haven't found a moment to sit down to watch it. To make up for this, in my own mind, I added Petite Maman Sciamma's latest directorial credit to my …
