Audience Member Cinéma France Manifiqé A Grandious Gangster Melodrama realistic, morbid & beautiful with great Direction, Camera Work, Music & Acting Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Encore un très bon Téchiné qui dissèque au scalpel notre psychologie contemporaine ici à travers la relation de deux frères, l'un voleur et l'autre flic. Rien n'est univoque et très rationnel: le sel et les souffrances de la vie. A voir. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Sans toutefois être aussi efficace que dans d'autres de ses oeuvres, Téchiné offre un drame habile qui repose sur ses fortes performances et son intéressantes structures narratives qui a de quoi captiver son auditoire. De plus, les narrations en voix-off et le changement de protagoniste au fil du récit aide à l'intérêt d'une histoire qui aurait pu être bien plus banal que ce qui nous est servi. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member ive seen a lot of movies! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Stars two of my favorite actors--Daniel Auteuil and Catherine Deneuve. The backward storyline is handled expertly to provide insight into the characters and their complex relationships as well as build to the tension of the central heist and its aftermath. The word "build" comes to mind because the film is very precise in the order in which it presents each scene. Effective score featuring edgy violin work. The young boy is quite good at playing an internal, suspicious child who still is figuring out his moral center. This role for Deneuve is one of the reasons I so admire her career. She continuously chooses work that challenges her and her audience. I read someone else saying that Techine knows how to use Deneuve's beauty and presence so that it's not distracting (like, "Look! It's Catherine Deneuve!") but instead is used to enhance her screen time. I thought that was insightful and perhaps a reason that her pairings with Techine are some of my favorite films. I couldn't help but see it in the theatre three (?) times and found it wholly absorbing each time. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member It was definitely a unique story... Partly about a heist, but the unique part about the movie was that it really delved into the psyche of each of the characters involved and the relationships with the other characters. Definitely a different type of heist movie than the ones which try to be cute or smart. but somehow I wasn't terribly inspired.
