Roschdy Zem meets Claude Sautet
searchanddestroy-112 September 2023
Roschdy Zem is obviously inspired by Claude Sautet's cinema in the atmosphere of this drama. An accurate character study among a family. And he was also inspired by his own family, personal experience, with a brother of his who suffered from a major skull trauma. That's not the first time that Samy Bouajila and Roschdy Zem play together in a film: remember HORS LA LOI, from Rachid Bouchareb. The most impressive thing here is the Bouajila's role, where this character changes in a so shocking, spectacular way. This remains the main interest in this very personal film from director Roschdy Zem. A must see.

A mess all along the movie
AvionPrince1629 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I couldnt stand that movie: i found it very superficial and really not interesting. The only interest remain the relationship between the brothers that i found pretty interesting and to see the difference between the two brothers: work, social condition. But the movie try to create some strangeness in some scenes but i really fail: the brother after the accident (the performance of the actor dont help). Globally the movie tell a story about family, work and relationship. But instead of being intimate, fun, serious in some moments i feel the movie pretty superficial, boring, an excuse to make boring jokes and to see some problems of the young (studies, money). But i didnt really enjoyed it at all. Dont know what to think about that movie after seeing it. Except that i didnt really enjoyed it: the end with the music on let think that they rushed the writing and really didnt care about how it end. Pretty disappointed overall. I expected something much more better and interesting than this. We saw also the brother get angry because of his accident and see some violence against his own childrens that i didnt really find the interest to do that kind of things. That movie is a complete mess for me. Even the performance of the actors are hard to believe the situation that they are in. If they cant believe in that kind of script imagine the viewer!! And the problem of the bump on his head is completely non sense. The relationships are non sense and clearly superficial (money, work) and the anger of the man who get the accident make things pretty uninteresting again: he just get mad at his sons, his brother and sister. Nothing in this movie have anything that can keep you interested except that the movie have an end and that make me happy. Just forget that movie.
