Moved from YMMV.Tomboy
Added DiffLines:
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Laure a transgender boy, genderqueer, a cisgender tomboy, and/or maybe also a lesbian? According to Creator/CelineSciamma, this was deliberately left ambiguous, so that a wide range of people could watch the movie and think "That was my childhood."
%%* EsotericHappyEnding
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The movie became unexpectedly successful in UsefulNotes/SouthKorea during its local 2020 theatrical release.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The dance scene and ensuing bonding between Laure (as Mickaël) and Lisa.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Laure winning a fight against a boy who was bullying her sister.
* {{Narm}}: When Laure pushes a boy off a boat and into some water, the kid lets out a clear [[StockSoundEffects Wilhelm Scream]]. Quite possibly the single most misplaced usage of the stock sound effect ever.
* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Tomboy'' is sometimes considered as a [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to ''Film/MaVieEnRose'', even though it doesn't clearly address if Laure's UsefulNotes/{{transgender}}, unlike the latter.
* TransAudienceInterpretation: Many viewers perceive Laura as either nonbinary or a trans boy. Creator Creator/CelineSciamma deliberately left the matter open so that multiple interpretations could be made, and Laure also can be taken as a budding {{butch lesbian}} or straight tomboy too.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: For the most part Laure looks like a little boy (the actress hadn't yet grown breasts), but her naked scene in the bath reveals her sex. Creator/CelineSciamma actually ''expected'' French audiences to be fooled initially, but a) [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil the trailer gave it away by showing the bath scene]] and b) there are French people who know what "{{tomboy}}" [[SpoilerTitle means]]. This was deliberate though, since Sciamma wanted Laure's gender identity [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity to be ambiguous]], so she could be taken as a budding {{butch lesbian}}, trans man or just a tomboy. The fact that Laure presenting herself as a boy is the main plot likely just reinforces this confusion too, whatever one takes it to represent.
