Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
mlina-79357 I started watching this at night, because I couldn't sleep. That wasn't such a good idea. First of all, I couldn't stop watching as the impending drama is palpable and you can't look away, you have to watch it unravel. Second of all, that was terrifying. The movie begins by throwing doubt on the father-mother relationship, you don't know who's right or wrong even if the father/ex-husband feels like a beast in hiding. It's subtle, but he seems dangerous, his eyes, mostly, are very cold and his stature is impressive. But the real feat of the movie is its distilled anguish, it's slow, and it feels some scenes aren't useful to the movie but they actually build up until its gripping finale. Anyway, you should watch it, it's masterful and a faithful depiction of the dramas you read in newspaper.
rahimlaban Many unnecessary scenes. Did not sympathize with any of the characters.
Genadijus-L Riveting directing by debuting Xavier Legrand and stellar acting by both actors playing parents (Léa Drucker and Denis Ménochet), and most importantly by the young actor Thomas Gloria. It's been a while since a decent movie by brothers Dardennes, here you'll their style and even more. Real and touching in every scene until the final credits. Precise use of close ups translating the real emotional power of the characters and accurately composed scenes provide a great experience of social drama on screen.
otacon38 I'm french and this movie have quite a reputation in france. And usually i'm a bit disapointed when i heard people were shocked by a movie when i see it. I'm used to watch korean noir movies or serious subject movies. But here... i was so unconforable watching this, because it is completly realistic. Not that it could happen, but that it is happening somewhere. The actor are marvelous, the tension is great, just watch it, but not alone, don't look what it is about before, just enjoy the pain that you will get watching it :)
