BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

guil fisher I totally hated this film after the dog was tortured. I hated writer director and actors for doing this. It ruined the film for me. In fact turned off the movie when they did that and sent it back.If you need to shock, kill an animal, torture the defenseless. Makes good drama? Makes good nothing in this viewers eyes. I will not mention any names responsible for this film. For that would encourage them to make another one. This is one producer, director, writer I will avoid in the future.I don't understand why animals are used to show violence. Don't these idiots know it only encourages the psychos and animal abusers to continue to do their damages? Are we encouraging them to continue to do their evil doings? Animal cruelty organizations are having enough problems getting these violators off the streets without stupid people like those who made this film encouraging them.

titanic1999_2000 I'm so sick of films like this giving our continent a bad name! For all the repulsed Americans out there I can only say don't judge all Europeans based on this rubbish. It doesn't represent anyone whatsoever.An utterly worthless film. There are no redeeming features at all. I've always disliked French films (food, literature etc) but I thought I might give this one a try just in case it was good. It wasn't. I've tried to think of something positive to say but there really is nothing positive about this voyeuristic pretentious and sickening film.Avoid it like the plague.

Roger Williams This movie exhibited wonderful filmography, surprisingly convincing performances and gorgeous young men. Where this film was lacking tremendously was the plot. Even though it had so much potential, it's execution was haphazard, and too much time was spent on unnecessary scenes, so toward the end it felt rushed, and the relationship between Olivier (Thomas Dumerchez) and Hicham (Salim Kechiouche) if it were developed more deeply, would have made for a wonderful film. Finally, the ending left me lacking as if it would continue next week. In other words, the entire film felt like an episode in a larger series. It felt unresolved; unfinished. And the extended Soliloquy, conveyed in the form of letters written to Christophe (I believe) certainly did not make up for a proper ending. That really frustrated me.

kjm914a I thoroughly enjoyed this dark, engrossing film that addresses the harsh lives of a group of young men in the not-so-gay boondocks of France. I am always amused at "reviewers" who slag a film because the views of life and lifestyles depicted are not "pleasant" or meeting with their social approval. To them I say, folks, that's what mainstream Hollywood films are for. Don't expect to find it in a challenging French melodrama. If you are able to open your eyes to a depiction of life without Hollywood endings, you may find that this film depicts relationships and unhappy lives with a stunning honesty, brutality and even, dare I say it, bleak but ravishing beauty.
