Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
One of the sweetest films to emerge from Europe in the 1990s, Alain Berliner's Ma Vie en Rose is the story of an innocent little boy, Ludovic (played with noncloying directness by Georges Du Fresne), who wants to be a girl. Convinced that he's the product of misplaced chromosomes (he imagines the mix-up in one of many delightful daydream sequences), he sets about righting the mistake by wearing dresses and high heels and experimenting with lipstick and makeup. The otherwise friendly suburban neighborhood becomes horrified by the gender confusion, though tellingly the cruelest blows come not from the teasing classmates but intolerant adults: one scene recalls the torch-and-pitchfork angry villagers from a Frankenstein movie. Ludo tries hard to be butch, but he can't deny his nature, especially when he meets a kindred spirit: a little girl who gladly trades her dress for his pants and shirt. This bittersweet mix of innocent fantasy and childhood cruelty has its moments of sadness and crushing misunderstandings, but the overall tone is loving, filled with tenderness and culminating in acceptance and togetherness. As the family stumbles and struggles to come to terms with Ludo, they find something special within him, an innocent conviction so powerful and pure that it's infectious. Ludo may not grow up to become a girl as he hopes, but his belief is so strong it's hard to deny him the possibility. This films reminds us that, to a child, anything is possible. --Sean Axmaker

It's clear that this film is a departure from so many foreign film with children. The film draws on the innocence of Ludovic, a 7-year old boy, living in France, who believes he was meant to be a girl. After confusion whether he is a boy or a girl, he learns that girls have XX chromosome; he fantasizes that God made a mistake sending chromosomes into the chimney at his birth. He believes one X chromosome landed into the trash.
Ludovic thinks nothing of correcting the problem, ... Read More

I didn't really know what to expect with "Ma Vie En Rose", but this film was an enjoyable surprise. It was interesting to see a 7 year old boy, Ludovic, go through a gender identity crisis. Ludovic truly believes he is a girl in a boy's body or a "girlboy" and tries to prove it "scientifically" by explaining to his parents about God's mistake of throwing away the extra X chromosome in the "trash". Pam, a beautiful doll reminiscent of Barbie, is a doll Ludovic admires and "daydreams" and "escapes" ... Read More

This french movie with subtitles is a sweet tender look at the story of a little boy who thinks he's a little girl or will at least become a woman when he's older, and the reactions of his family and community he lives in. It would be a good movie to reccomend to any parent of a transgender child or adult, as it not only shows societal discrimination, but even how a family can disown a child that is transgender. It also shows the fantasy world the lead character enters to escape.

"Ma vie en rose" is a colorful, emotionally powerful film about a little boy named Ludovic who thinks he's a girl. Ludovic's favorite show is about Pam (a Gallic Barbie equivalent). She lives in a world of pinkness&he longs to join her. Ludovic's femininity-and his desire to be a girl-has devastating consequences for his family. At first, his mother tries to sympathize, but in the end she blames the family crises on him. His father remains withdrawn. For some, the "dominant mother/weak father" is ... Read More

This is a really amazing film about a seven-year-old boy named Ludovic (Georges Du Fresne) living in France who is convinced that he is supposed to be a girl. He keeps telling his family that he will turn into a girl soon, and then he'll be able to marry the boy next door. He also keeps dressing up in girl's clothing and showing up in this attire at neighborhood functions.
His family is at first amused but their reactions quickly change as they realize that Ludo is very, very serious ... Read More
