GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

thunderkiSSer what can i say, i like foreign movies, and i liked this one. Its just a simply, little story and its worth a watch. I liked the lead actor and felt sorry for him, i just wish the movie was longer or had a second part or something. Have a look at it and rest easy.

djnano Olivier, Olivier is a very unique movie about a family who is held together by a delicate balance of familial roles. When one member, Olivier, suddenly disappears one day, the balance is thrown, the family falls apart, only to years later to be reunited with a teenage Olivier. The acting in this movie is interstellar, and the characters are almost instantly real and alive right down to the surprise climax. Viewers use discretion however, as there are intense sexual scenes- not so graphic, but dealing with incest, pedophilia and an ailing marriage. This movie in some way goes beyond the more acclaimed film by the same director, Europa,Europa, in it's intensity. As a similar film dealing with family in a similar vein I would highly recommend The Cement Garden.

negeati My first Agnieszka Holland movie was "Total Eclipse"(1995), and I was very disappointed. At the end of that of that movie I couldn't feel any sympathy for the lead characters. But that didn't stop me to see some of her previous movies: "Europa, Europa" (1991) and this movie, "Olivier, Olivier" (1992)."Olivier, Olivier" is not as good as her 1991 movie was, but it comes so close, that I simply cannot give it less than 10/10.The most important character of the movie is Elizabeth Duval, Olivier's mother. Brigitte Rouan's performance is extraordinary. Her portrayal of the over-possessive mother is perfect.The rest of the cast is very competitive. Gregoire Colin is a wonderful fake prodigal son. Francois Cluzet and Marina Golovina are superb.The movie does however have a flaw. Nadine's supernatural powers are interesting to look at, but useless to the plot. Forgivable.

GeoffL Now this is a truly wonderful film. It's simple enough: one day, a young boy goes missing from his family. Several years later, he returns - or does he?This movie is a flawless dissection of a frighteningly twisted family, with extremely vivid characters. Agnieszka Holland has succeeded at that difficult task: create realistic characters in a believable situation, yet present them with shockingly eerie dilemma. Strongly recommended.Side note: the only flaw in this movie was the rather ridiculous invocation of the supernatural. Fortunately, it's part of an almost completely irrelevant subplot, and can be safely ignored.
