Jerod S @jeroduptown Dec 25 Matthias draws you in as a single dad, a fighter and kinda questionable. His eventual partner loses her legs in a whale accident. It's so weird. But it works.

EL ESPAÑOL NO ES UN IDIOMA DE POBRES, LO QUE ES POBRE ES EL GUION Y LAS ACTUACIONES HORRIBLES DE EMILIA PÉREZ. See more John A @ExcessMale 12/06/2024 A heart-wrenching and well-acted romance that pulls double duty and is also a nuanced character study about two very troubled people that become an unlikely couple.

The developing relationship between the characters played by Cotillard & Schönaerts is handled in a well balanced & believable manner with an masterful characterization from Cotillard who may very well be, right now, the leading French film actress in her age group. The role effectively deglamorizes her stunning appearance which her Oscar winning role as Edith Piaf, that, despite a memorable performance from her, failed to do. Here she is, as in everything I have seen her in starting with Burton‘s BIG FISH, always a notable presence on screen. Schönaerts, bulked up for his role, is excellent & the two interact splendidly. Those who prefer a more demonstrative closure may be disappointed but it’s clear & effective, IMO, which is often a characteristic of French films in contrast to the less subtle approach that Hollywood resolutions usually provide. Reviewed by Peter Graham See more 04/22/2024 Rust and Bone is a very well made film with wonderful performances throughout. Especially from lead actress Marion Cotillard and lead actor Matthias Schoenaerts. Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts), a former boxer and single father, meets Stephanie (Marion Cotillard) when he saves her from a brawl at the nightclub where he works as a bouncer. Their casual acquaintance develops into something much more after Stephanie, who trains killer whales at a marine park, suffers a horrible accident and loses both her legs above the knee. As Stephanie draws on Ali's physical strength, an unexpected courtship slowly comes to life. The relationships that are formed through the duration of this film are a revelation and very complexed. This movie is a very well crafted Drama that will take you one way one minute and then the next somewhere else. Rust And Bone is a very solid film and gets 4 stars out of 5 from me.
