This is an unusual film and it definitely took me a while to connect with it. In the end, I liked it.
The storyline is about a young girl, Emilie, who doesn't quite fit in, especially not to her mother's world. Against her desires, she agrees to attend a picnic with her mom, because that's a way to keep peace. Ultimately, she ends up discovering some new friends who are more like she is than she imagined.
The storyline develops well, and all the components come together -- the camera work and the locations are great. The young girl, Carlotta Sclano, who plays Emilie delivers a believable performance.
The film's message is about fitting in. Sometimes you have to put yourself out there to find your tribe.
I give Would You Rather 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

Emilie, a bright and exceptionally creative ten-year-old, lives in a world where the line between reality and imagination blurs. Faced with her mother's well-meaning but conformist expectations, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery learning to embrace the unique differences that make her who she is.
