8 Desembre 2015 - M'ha avorrit l'excés de plans propers al protagonista, no m'ha emocionat, m'ha semblat com si no entrés prou endins a mostrar els personatges. M'he preguntat si és realista.

Quite the small story to be stretched out over this running time, but it's somewhat effective. It unravels at a slow, deliberate pace, and despite some strong performances, it is in need of some more quietly compelling scenes (like the one with the tape-measure in the parking lot). The tight cinematography that opens up is a nice touch, proving these directors are already masters of visual realism.

I agree that the film is interesting-unsettling to be precise. But why the run time of 99 mins? It is annoying and boring to see repetitive unnecessary long and slow shots of the actors without particularly having any impact on the story. The film could have been much more crisp and compact.

Som vanlig leverer Dardenne-brødrene i toppklasse. Vanskelig drama om en fyr som jobber med å rehabilitere ungdom på skråplanet. En dag tar han inn en ung gutt som tidligere drepte sønnen hans i en ulykke. Forholdet dem imellom er preget av dette, men den unge gutten er ikke klar over koblingen. Overraskende mange flotte scener til at filmen kun er filmet med håndholdt kamera, spesielt en scene der kameraet beveger seg sømløst fra baksetet i en bil og frem i front. Nydelig.

Kinda reminded me of Red Road, only with a much more satisfying and less melodramatic resolution. The camera is amazing.

one of the few perfect films i've ever seen, and easily the dardennes' finest. the intensity and economy is breathtaking from start to finish, and for once the simple catholic allegory feels essential and vital rather than contrived.
