How sad is this?

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

**spoiler alert**This movie very accurately portrayed what its like growing up with a feminine gender expression, while having been coercively assigned male at birth. Having yet to experience years of sexual harassment and bullying, Ludovic's simple straightforward insistence that she is a girl is heartfelt and unassuming. She sees no danger with dressing in the clothes her sister gets to wear, pretending to be a bride, or telling her new friends she'll be a girl someday. But sadly, it seems everyone else in the film wants to strip that internal confidence from Ludovic. Her parents bully her so much, culminating in physical abuse, as well as Ludo's mother holding her down and cutting her hair. All this causes poor Ludo to attempt suicide and move out of her parents house, because her family hates and blames her. At age seven.The scenes with the father were difficult to watch...scary men shouldn't have a place in a young trans girl's life. I had to stop the movie and watch over two nights. It was like living with my father again.. so, really good directing, I guess. Not a happy ending, either. As far as I can tell, Ludo has hidden her feminine activities for fear of her parents reactions. When offered feminine clothing, Ludo's face lights up, and then quickly darkens in fear (excellent acting!). Ludo's fears are confirmed, as she is hit across the face multiple times and strangled by her mother. Mere MINUTES after the abuse, Ludo's mother says "You can wear whatever you want".....Are we supposed to believe that statement? Are we supposed to believe that an abuser has stopped abusing, with no treatment? It's clear that Ludo can never return to that innocent age of childhood, where gender expression was simply "what I want to do".Ludo entered into the transgender world of adults at the age of seven, learning that feminine gender expression can make you a target of sexual violence, even from your own parents. This is a movie that does not act as a role model for how to accept trans children in your community. This is not a feel-good family movie comedy. This movie shows what children with atypical gender expression go through right now, every day.

The first time I saw this movie i loved it. But the other day when I saw it on DVD I was really, really moved and I just wanted to write about this, I mean it's beautiful, everyone has to see it, It's a lovely story with powerful performances and a great art direction. It kind of reminded me of Edward Scissorhands (I really don't know why). After the success of Transamerica and Brokedown Mountain and all these movies with gay themes all I can say is that this movie was way ahead of it's time. Even do it won a Golden Globe and many other awards, I think that it's was a pity that it didn't won an Oscar... ..After all life wasn't that pink for this film. Too bad

Deriving its title from "La Vie en Rose" (one of the most famous French songs in history), "Ma Vie en Rose" is a courageous film that presents a controversial topic in a truly captivating, childlike light.Ludovic Fabre is convinced that he was meant to be born a little girl. With all his seven-year-old wisdom, he calmly explains that his male gender is simply "a scientific error," one that he will soon correct. But instead of becoming female, Ludo becomes prey. His schoolmates tease him, his principal expels him, and his soccer teammates beat him up. Ludo's two older brothers, who are on the same soccer team, do nothing but watch.Throughout the film, the true colors of Ludo's brothers and of everyone around him are revealed as they each try to deal with his behavior. Ludo's teacher makes an admirable speech about respecting those different from you. Ludo and his eccentric grandmother grow closer. But a terrible rift develops between Ludo and his seemingly-loving mother, Hanna. When her family is living in a comfortable neighborhood and her husband has a good job, Hanna makes every possible excuse for Ludo's gender confusion. She lets him grow his hair long and even wear a skirt, and when Pierre, Ludo's father, makes the mere suggestion to cut their son's long hair, Hanna snaps, "Well, why don't we just crucify him?" But in a powerful and painful shock, Hanna is revealed to be only a fair-weather friend to her son. After Pierre is fired (apparently because of Ludo's attempts to "marry" the boss's son), Hanna suddenly turns on Ludo, screaming and snapping at him, blaming him for all the family's problems. Both Ludo and the viewer feel completely crushed and betrayed. After Hanna physically abuses him in a scene of scary intensity, Ludo runs away, and the ending that follows is truly remarkable.

Excellent tale of little Ludovic who is sure he is really a she. It's a must see!! Unfortunately, we live in a world where each individual thinks their way is the right way...which is wrong. With that being said, Ludovic's family has to deal with their judgmental neighbors who should be "cleaning their own kitchen" so to speak. The comedy/drama dives deep into the trials & tribulations that this poor kid has to suffer in order to feel like he/she fits in. The funny thing is, back in the roman times, green was actually considered the "feminine" color...it was changed to pink when fashion changed many years later. Maybe they will make a sequel with Ludovic & call it "My Life In Green, The College Years!"
