Small Talk
Why we love it ❤️
Charlie walking into the last finishing school in Switzerland like she has something to prove is exactly the underdog energy we want from a coming of age drama. Watching someone try to learn the unspoken rules of old money while holding onto who she actually is never gets old. Hélène Bares brings a quiet intensity to Charlie that makes every etiquette lesson feel like it actually matters. The old world Swiss setting gives the whole thing a fairytale gone slightly wrong texture. This is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider trying to crack a room they were not born into.
