[It] has a more upsetting dimension than most suspense dramas as it's based on a true story, a story that touches on issues still roiling France today. Go to Full Review
Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times 04/23/2015
Knowing the outcome behind the true-life tragedy "24 Days" doesn't diffuse the horror, the tension or the sadness of watching one family's drama unfold day after agonizing day when a son is kidnapped and hope dies. Go to Full Review
Mark Jenkins NPR 04/23/2015
24 Days takes strength from real-world specifics. But the most powerful thing about the movie is its rejection of omniscience. The crime it reconstructs is beyond understanding. Go to Full Review

As tensely suspenseful as it is shocking. Go to Full Review

6.65/10
Suspenseful with moving performances, but suffers from a pedestrian, Hollywood-style screenplay and brisk pacing that doesn't give the film enough room to breathe nor does it trust your patience. Go to Full Review

06/24/2019 A fascinating police procedural and the heartbreak of a Jewish family whose son was stolen from them for the sole crime of being Jewish. See more 06/19/2016 French film based on the true story of a young Jewish man who was kidnapped, torched and killed just because he was Jewish and how the police were not able to find him until it was too late. excellent written and acted. See more 01/17/2016 Changed the history of France. A senseless and meaningless brutal inhuman minds that only seek to destroy others and find pride in it. The thought of cowardly, conscienceless, ingrates like Youssouf Fofana and similar makes me wonder what went wrong in their brains? Is it pathological? Is it a kind of deformity that needs treatment? Or is jail the solution? See more 08/27/2015 Interesting and suspenseful - but I kept waiting for something more. The themes were larger than the film allows. See more 08/08/2015 Not sure what to say. Horrible real life drama. For sure. Touching as well. In the end it was a lot of phones ringing, an angry man shouting and cursing and women suffering. and it all ended badly. But somehow I got bored and drifted away... See more 07/26/2015 Alka was bad, very bad. Brought down the otherwise powerful movie. It seemed to be commercial French cinema. It had all the elements. It felt almost like a pseudo - watching a foreign language and sounding cool but watching a horribly commercial movie. The movie does not challenge boundaries in cinema art or story telling. That being said, it is still an engaging, powerful and sensitive movie. See more Read all reviews
