danelectro T @danelectro May 29 The French title "L'Attachement" is much better than "The Ties Than Bind Us" because Attachment is a profound process by which we become socialized, but it is also a deep-seated longing for connection and soothing. The attachment needs of the children in the film are obvious, but one suspects that the female protagonist has often struggled with attachment with others; perhaps she is, like me, a little on the spectrum. Yet her attachment deepens thanks to the child's. Every adult in the film has different attachment needs, and some avoid it, like the boy's biological father, or are ambivalent about it, like the father-in-law's new bride. This film beautifully conveys the tapestry of attachment needs and expressions, and it reminds us that attachment takes courage as we reveal ourselves through it. I was a bit surprised that this film won the prestigious Cesar for Best (French) Film, rather than Arco, Sirat or Young Mothers. A very enjoyable, moving, film all the same.

The character of Sandra was both beautifully written and portrayed on screen. While the movie is fast moving, it’s pacing doesn’t jar and it is shot in a beautifully natural fashion. The film locations and music score add to the honest feeling invoked in the script. I would love to see this movie get a wider release. See more Read all reviews
