Reception
[edit]The movie received recognition for its positive portrayal of stuttering: the lead Marie-Sophie has a stutter, and the movie depicts her speech impediment as just a distinctive trait of hers, rather than as a detraction or a source of humor.[2][3] While cinema attendance at the time of its release was in sharp decline in France, the film was released on June 3, 1987 and managed to take first place at the box office for its first week of operation with more than 206,000 admissions throughout the country, including more than 88,000 admissions in Paris.[4]
