Watch La petite fille qui aimait trop les allumettes
After her father's death, she still feels a strange world and a dark darkness permeates her life but tries to understand the world. It seems that the idea of returning to normal life from good is difficult but had no solution but to return and adapt again in completely isolated circumstances.
At times animalistic, at times tender and ethereal, [Marine Johnson is] whatever the role requires - a character trying to understand herself and the world around her with severely limited knowledge and resources.
Ironically, the film's construction is as circular as the insular logic it so heinously condemns: a work imposed on its audience solely because its creator wills it to be so, and his Word, as scripture, is total, complete, and final.
Thanks to [Simon] Lavoie's confident direction, Matches builds hope for the continued strength and creativity of Québécois horror cinema, refreshed by the raw input of genre outsiders.
Art house fare that's challenging but also rewarding, with the oblique early going giving way to an increasingly clear picture as the two orphaned youngsters try and come to terms with the world and their dark past.
