      Audience Member ... une histoire ou il ne se passe pas grand chose... mais on y rencontre des envies qui menent les personnages a agir de maniere stupide... une certaine misere des sentiments... tres chouette... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Ce film m'a intrigue et finalement, on peut le dire, convaincu. Les quelques traits d'humour font mouche, et la sinistrose omnipresente se trouve contrebalancee par de profonds moments d'humanite. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member ben c'est Benoît Poelvoorde,donc c'est mortel ! attention on rit beaucoup Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Charleroi, ahhh quelle belle ville industrielle...Sous la fumee ambiante, Mariage reussit la prouesse de nous faire rire, puis, dans la seconde qui suit, de nous faire pleurer. Il est, il faut le dire, bien epaule pour cela par des acteurs epatants de realisme. On ne présente plus Poelvoorde, mais on reconnait une fois de plus son talent dans ce qui restera comme l'un de ses roles les plus touchants. La seconde tete d'affiche ne depasse pas le metre 40, Morgane Simon n'a pas rejoue depuis ce film, une nouvelle deplorable pour le GRAND cinema belge. Sa grace naturelle, sa voix angelique et son regard d'enfant nous feraient presque oublier que ce film est en noir et blanc...J'adore! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film sur les records qui est lui même un exploit. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member on dits que c celui la mon vrai film prefere ;) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
