| ___ "Watching Abrahadabra made me realize how conditioned we are by film generally and about "what happens next". It has been good to experience the subject a different way." Audience Anonymous ___ " Abrahadabra is a gentle and delicate film, contemplative in structure, but concrete in its details. By holding eventfulness at bay, this film achieves an inner calm and mindfulness unusual for the cinema, and by using an innovative combination of camera and tablet photography, it achieves a novel and rewarding relationship with its central characters." Dr. James Zborowski Hull University Film Dpt. ___ "Like a beautiful fable, ABRAHADABRA is positively imposing us to leave our usual cinematographic comfort zone to enjoy fully his false indolence. If the viewer agrees to take a fresh look, he will leave the viewing experience more mesmerised than he could have originally imagined.” Philippe Saidj Writer ___ "With his first feature film, Yannik Ruault is putting the onus on the spectator to enjoy a magic realism! The soundtrack and music is, again, worthy of note, indeed immaculate, as is the photography. Remember the actress Noémie Glairacq." Dr. Geoff Hare Newcastle University Honorary Senior Research ___ A film with symbols, difficult to apprehend, which unfolds around the themes of the loss of the father and the absence of the mother, the suffering denied, the search in the illusion to exceed this break with the world of childhood, which will lead Jane, the main character, through an initiatory journey in which nature plays a character in its own right.
