I went to watch this without knowing much about it. I just saw it was rated high and high level description but that's it. I was intrigued right away and I enjoyed every bit of it. I loved the entire journey of Bella through her eyes. The innocence of a child was played brilliantly, she deserves Oscar for this role. The director does a great job with the camera where things appear slightly bigger as the world is from a child's perspective. You watch her grow in her speech and her motor skills and her language and thoughts mature as she learns the way of the world. Yet she refuses to be a cynic. It was empowering and funny at times and sweet. I wish there was some reference of time though. Because she is born as an adult it is hard to determine how much time has passed and the age of her brain. But I now want to watch it again to see if I missed it. It's one my favorite movie of 2023 and I hope it gets nominated.
