There's something truly special about My Tomato Heart. Benoît Le Rouzès Ménard's unique and daring storytelling approach sets it apart, taking bold creative risks that pay off beautifully. The film's emotional core is deeply touching, with a universal theme of inevitable loss that resonates powerfully; we all face losing things beyond our control. My Tomato Heart is thought-provoking and lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. This is a film I know I'll be holding onto for a long time. — Jillian Corsie, Programmer
