It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

L'autre Monde – Black Heaven – TRASH IT (C+) L'autre Monde is a weird exotic French movie about a boy getting obsessed with the suicidal girl. The beginning of the movie is interesting and it seems very real but once the whole Black Hole game starts it kind of put the movie into another track. The Black Hole Tron lookalike scenes are not interesting, it's kind of weird. Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet is good but there is nothing much he could have done in it. Louise Bourgoin is exotic and Pauline Etienne is cute. On the whole L'autre is a perfect French movie everyone should avoid as it ruins the concept of the French movies.

As you all may already know, the original name of this film is The other world (in french off course) and that i think, is exactly the main idea of this film, but I'm not talking about "Black Hole" which is only the door for Gaspard, the door that leads to that other world where nothing/nobody is clear nor innocent, i love the way how this movie transforms from a romantic teenage naive story to this dark strange hybrid that turns out to be, so in my opinion the movie succeeds in showing us Gaspard's trip to that other neighbor complex almost non-moral world of Audrey and Vincent. I think Black heaven is an interesting different movie, it is fun, it is clever at parts and is well done, ironically it is still a bit naive even during its darkest moments.

L'autre Monde is a French drama which starts with the life of two "teens" (boyfriends) and they find a cellphone of an unknown person. They start to get involved in her life and the things she does, this will take Gaspard to find a virtual online game (the title of the movie refers to this game) and the plot will get so much exciting. I really liked this movie because I think it is very interesting and cool the story and how the facts happen over the course of the plot. To talk about the actors i have to say that i really love Louise Bourgoin in all the senses, it is really one of my favorite actresses, and this movie is not the exception. I really enjoyed it and I hope you too, i give it an 8/10. regards. maxi0305

I loved the game sequences, you get the feeling they really captured the spirit of online gaming and the game world here is dark and compelling. The story has to do with sexual obsession, a boy falls for a tragic femme fatale who appears to be trying to commit suicide. The relationship is realized in part in the game world, a eerie cyber world called BlackHole where the mystery woman has a character called Sam. I found myself wishing there actually was such a game because the graphics were so beautiful in a haunting sort of way. The game in Black Heaven was much more interesting than the ugly game world realized in "eXistenZ". Unfortunately, the backstory just doesn't live up to the potential of the fictional game and the ending is abrupt. Still, I found Black Heaven to hold my interest. Perhaps if the main character Gaspard (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet) hadn't been played as such a dimwitted dork the mystery might have had more tension. As such he's way too passive and detached. This could have been a great thriller if more story action had taken place in that fascinating game world.
