Audience Member Très bon film avec de formidables acteurs dont Dewaere énorme. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member putain d acteur ce dewaere Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Il y en a qui n'ont pas la vie facile. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Sautet fait deux films en un. Le retour difficile du fils prodigue mais pas prodige incarné par le grand Patrick Dewaere, puis on passe à une histoire d'amour avec une droguée qui cherche à s'en sortir... Toujours de grands acteurs mais des faiblesses scénaristiques évidentes. Correct sans plus. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Vraiment un très bon film de C. Sautet sur la relation brisée entr un père et son fils. Brigitte Fossey se démarque nettement dans son rôle de droguée en voie de rédemption. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent French drama Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
