'Petite Maman' goes from a fanciful, delicate fantasy to something like a minor mood-piece masterpiece. Here's our review.
Wandering around the woods — the same rural expanse where Mom played as a kid — Nelly comes across a hut. It looks like the fort thatdescribed as her personal sanctuary of yesteryear.
