It's not pretentious, but it's just plain nice.
Sure, it's got a few flaws, but the story is good, and doesn't make a black&white picture. She IS human, unlike most movie protagonists, yet in her past so many things were strange, forbidden, unavailable to her so she is like a child in a certain way. Once she get's her freedom, she then starts making up for all the time that's been stolen from her - but also learning and making the mistakes she shouldn't have, for life is something new to her.
...spoiler.... and the scene with the helium suit is just hilarious ...spoiler...
Funny, sweet, really nice.
