But Julie decides to keep quiet

Chronology

Julie is a star player at an elite tennis academy. When her coach falls under investigation and is suddenly suspended, all of the club's players are encouraged to speak up.

This is truly a little masterpiece, executed to perfection

Official submission of Belgium for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 97th Academy Awards in 2025.. Cinematography, acting, editing, setting and the sparse use of music -all combine seamlessly.

It feels effortless, revealing just how much love and effort went into it

There is a natural blend of Flemish and French unseen in Belgian cinema. But this is exactly how kids talk in the affluent communities around Brussels.

Simply 'Julie' would suffice

And yes, don't they all struggle with German.This film is so delicate that even the verb in the title throws it off balance. And yet, each bounce of the tennis ball feels like the dynamite straight out of Clouzot's 'Wages of Fear'.
