All the kids -- even those few who barely got any screentime, like Jonathan, for example -- were incredible, and I feel bad for the others in picking a "favorite child." But, it is true that for most of the film I would've said it was a three-way deathmatch betweek Jojo, Axel and Marie. But then the scene near the end between Mr. Lopez and Nathalie happened. She had certainly grabbed my sympathy and curiosity before this, but this scene almost destroyed me. It was actually really painful to watch, if also beautiful. Ironically, the "worst" scene for me was what made Nathalie my "favorite child."
(Altho, my heart absolutely sank to my stomach when they were looking for Alize, and when Olivier [Julien?] got slapped, involuntary sound actually escaped my mouth, I was so shocked.)
