Motivation for the award:
“Lovingly called by our jury Hemingway and Me, this moving coming of age story inspired by Ernest’s timeless tale brings together characters of all generations to deliver a message about the power art and imagination have to change the world. Beautifully shot in Quebec and powered by Juliette Bharucha’s extraordinary performance, the FIPRESCI International Critics’ Prize goes to Blue Sky Jo.”
