What an unforgettable outing we had at the cinema this week!  As part of the Into Film Festival, we made our way to Stratford Vue cinema and settled into our seats to watch Little Amélie or the Character of Rain. From the very first scene, everyone was completely captivated by this charming, heartwarming story.

What made the morning extra special was that, for almost all of us, it was our very first time watching a film in French! Although a few of us weren't quite sure how we would get on with subtitles at first, we were quickly swept away by the expressive storytelling and the lovely rhythm of the French language. It turned out to be a fantastic way to experience something fresh and exciting right from the comfort of our cinema seats.

The film follows a curious little girl as she discovers the wonders, quirks, and big moments of growing up and learning what life is all about. It was touching, funny, and sparked brilliant chatter on the journey home. Well done to everyone for diving into a brand-new experience—we’re already counting down the days until our next big-screen adventure!
