The NinesElle has a small but delightful role in this fine sci-fi/mystery film. The important part of Elle's role is a short scene at the end of the movie, but it's among the most smile-inducing scenes ever.
Three stories with seemingly little in common with them except for the same
three characters. In each, something, or frequently a lot seems to be
wrong, and getting even stranger. The audience is left guessing what the
big picture is. Instead of being irritatingly confusing, the result is an
unsually surreal and captivating, scifi-flavored mystery story.
Elle is only in the last of the substories, where she plays a couple's
daughter named Noelle. (Is it a cute little joke to name the character
NoElle?) Through most of the story she's a stereotypical child character, a
little girl waiting worriedly in a car for her father to come back.
Although throughout strikingly beautiful, as usual, in the end of the movie
she truly shines in her role of "the best thing in the world," a perfect
match for Elle. It's a gorgeous happy family scene, everybody baking
together, Noelle talking about her dream horses and princesses, and smiling
in such a heart warming and contagious manner that I'm unable to stop
smiling like a fool every time I rewatch the scene.
