Faucher's filmmaking is exquisite, Naymark's acting is luminous, and superb use of music lends a crowning touch.
A lovely, almost painfully intimate story of female bonding that never panders to its characters or its audience.
Sequins hinges on its performances and newcomer Naymark is a marvel of quiet intelligence, endowing Claire with a complex mix of virginal purity and hormonal rage.
Touched with eerie dream sequences, the film casts a strange spell that's enhanced by the rhythmic, almost sensual depiction of the painstaking art of embroidery.
Thoughtful cross-generational portrait is full of familiar building blocks rendered fresh by first time feature helmer Eleonore Faucher.
Ultimately heads into a standard mismatched-buddy drama that would nestle nicely into a Hallmark movie of the week.
Sequins will tax the patience of most viewers not enthralled with endless close-ups of beads and brocades.
