At first I thought this was an Amelie wannabe, full of twee romance and fanciful imagery. It seemed like I was watching a Thing Addams adventure, complete with hand-view flashbacks, and I wasn't onboard. But as it goes on, it becomes something more heartfelt and sad, almost Lynchian. Elaborate romantic gestures are called out as creepy, and magic is revealed as metaphor. Some well-directed action sequences and deftly sketched peeks at French life from a hand's viewpoint.
