Nice warm moving film, a children's film that also takes adults seriously and is therefore enjoyable. Another factor is that Sinterklaas is a phenomenon that you look at differently as an adult than as a child, so that the film does not have to make so much effort to put in jokes that also work with older viewers. Especially towards the end when everyone addresses the costumed stable keeper (the older viewer knows) with Sinterklaas, which is almost absurdist, when he drinks his cup of coffee or when he is taken very seriously.

On the other hand, Sinterklaas is mainly a gimmick to make a film about integration, about being new in another country; on a very light level, by the way, but enough to give it some substance. Well played, especially the natural and disarming Ebbie Tam is very nice. The pacing could have been stronger at times and I was not always captivated, therefore 3.5*.

Sweet and warm family film for the cold days around our Sinterklaas party! A modern Dutch fairy tale with a Chinese girl in the lead role. My ladies think it's beautiful to watch, so the film is brought out again every year. Little Ebbie plays her part beautifully as a newcomer to the Netherlands who meets our Sinterklaas for the first time. There are comic moments in the film, sometimes a bit bitter because it also exposes the shortcomings of the integration. But very suitable for the cold days leading up to the Christmas season!
