Quote from: Rev. Powell on Today at 10:02:22 AMLITTLE AMELIE, OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN (2025): A 2 1/2 year old Belgian child living in Japan experiences the world for the first time and bonds with her Japanese nanny. Uniquely imaginative animation presented from the perspective of a child; it features bravura storybook scenes of Amelie using giant wildflower petals as slides during her first experience of spring and parting the sea like Moses on her first trip to the beach, and the idea of leaning into childhood solipsism (Amelie believes herself to be God) is a sly and humorous motif. Preceded by a short based on Irish mythology that was visually impressive but kind of forgettable. There was quite a surprising turnout for this one; there were 6-8 other people in the theater (I just assumed I'd be the only one there, as I usually am for these kinds of movies). One woman didn't do her research and brought her child to it; they didn't realize it was subtitled and left after about 10-20 minutes (lasted longer than I would have expected). 4/5.
