Tara Brady Irish Times It’s tempting to read a colonial narrative in Cléo’s reluctant surrender of the only maternal figure she has ever known. But Louise Mauroy-Panzani’s uncanny performance ensures we’re solely fixated on the child’s psychodrama. Rated: 4/5 Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Marina Ashioti Little White Lies The mixed media technique cuts through the film’s naturalism to bring forth something felt and ineffable, akin to the rich, vivid worlds within children’s imaginations, as well as the haziness with which we recall childhood memories. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian Àma Gloria is a small-scale film, barely over 80 minutes, but it leaves an almighty impression. Everything is so unforced and effortlessly convincing. Rated: 4/5 Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Kleenex at the ready for this merciless French drama that combines a cute child, a beloved nanny, and a love too pure and sweet for this lousy world. Rated: 5/5 Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan Observer (UK) One of the year’s most hypnotic performances nestles inside this seemingly modest French-language coming-of-age drama. Rated: 4/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk In Marie Amachoukeli’s Àma Gloria there’s a remarkable performance by a child actor, Louise Mauroy-Panzani. So key is her contribution that It’s fair to say the director couldn’t have delivered the film she had planned without her. Rated: 4/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Derek M This film deserves its 100% Rotten toms rating. Louise Mauroy Panaini, who plays six year Cleo, is a delight. And the feelings between her and Gloria, her nanny, are truly authethic and endearing. It is a journey of tender feeling, and is heading for my dvd collection. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Veronica T A rare and wonderful film. Simple and restrained, profound and moving (how the director coaxed such convincing, touching acting from both leads is anyone's guess), this little film - against stiff opposition such as "Zone of Interest" - is my "movie of the year" so far. No ifs and buts - just go, enjoy, shed a tear and be astonished at how simple movie-making can produce something as perfectly convincing as this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Sue G A truly heart-warming & heart-breaking film. A small film with a big impact. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Jon T I can say with certainty that everyone in the audience where l saw this thinks it a wonderful film as there were only five of us. Small film but wonderful. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Susan D This refreshing film explores one of the most important relationships in childhood: the bond between a caregiver and a child. A masterpiece of tenderness, truly a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
