Nana is a 4-year-old girl who lives in the French countryside; she returns home from school one afternoon and finds only silence.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

Driven by a combination of narrative economy and emotional expansiveness, Valrie Massadian's "Nana" is as difficult to pin down as the inner life of the tiny human at its center.

Rated: 5/5

Joseph Jon Lanthier

Slant Magazine

Its meta-cinematic "think piece"-ness is redeemed by the slinky symmetries drawn between Massadian's own auteur-ship and the protagonist's narrative role.

Rated: 3/4

Time Out

Barely over an hour, the sketch feels lovely, unhurried and a bit insignificant.

Rated: 3/5

Film Journal International

Tedious and slightly sickening, Valrie Massadian's debut feature focuses on a child but is hardly a children's movie.

A very beautiful film that says an awful lot very quietly, allowing thoughts, feelings, and ideas to wash over you rather than whacking you with some Big Message. The performance by child actor Kelyna Lecomte as 'Nana' is radiant in its simplicity. The director has somehow managed to capture the true feel of childhood on film in a way I've never seen before...

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
