• ...La Plus Belle Pour Aller danser, an intergenerational film, which is not just a teen movie or a film with a bunch of old people, is a wise choice to evoke transidentity and to pass on a message of tolerance through a cute and touching feature film.

• A tender and moving story that Victoria Bedos stages with refinement and elegance. An enchanting little tale about teenage love and self-acceptance. A film carried by the talented Brune Moulin, a true revelation, with refreshing supporting roles. A perfect balance between a dreamlike love story and a heartbreaking family story.
