A COMMON THREAD (BRODEUSES) (12A) 3/5

Dir: Eleonore Faucher

With: Lola Naymark, Ariane Ascaride, Thomas Laroppe

Another one of those gentle, girly coming-of-age movies in which a
young woman wanders around stroking leaves and discovering things
about her identity – pleasant to watch, but a little cliched, and
not as stirring as Cate Shortland’s Somersault.

Claire (Lola Naymark) is a pregnant 17-year-old with a special talent
for embroidery.

When she takes a job with enigmatic Armenian seamstress Madam Melikian
(Ariane Ascaride), an odd bond is formed.

Look, it’s a film featuring an enigmatic Armenian seamstress; either
you go for that kind of thing or you don’t.
