Not for the very young - My Life as a Courgette review by AA
The subject matter is far too adult for very young children and I think that should be said before they say it is for children. I was completely unprepared for the traumas that the little children in the film go through.
To start off with a drunk, abusive and then dead mother does not make for good viewing for sensitive children.
However, it is well done and ultimately delightful, once past that hurdle.
I would recommend they be at least over 7.

Beyond me. - My Life as a Courgette review by CB
Love this genre of film, but this one simply passed me by. Can’t explain my reticence really, but I simply lost interest after 20 minutes.
