Mademoiselle Chambon
Pretentious and boring
This is ideal if you like watching the plot development of a film interleaved with lengthy shots of building work being carried out, for no apparent reason.
The Hedgehog
Dull and artificial
Very tedious, with unbelievable characters and overall an alienating effect. Time seems to go past very slowly.
Populaire
Stylish and humorous
Period charm in a stylish and deliberately stylised comedy. Fairly typical wacky french humour and very enjoyable.
La Promesse
Gritty realism with unepected warmth
Excellent acting with a range of non-cliche characters gives this film about the underside of corrupt immigration scams an unepected warmth and humanity.
The Trip to Bountiful
Very touching portrait of how not to treat an aged person
A little slow to engage one's sympathy, but it becomes a very touching story about the need to provide dignity and freedom to the elderly. Very well acted and with many gentle and moving portraits.
Carnage
Clever and tense dramatic humour
One of those situations where you know the events are gradually going to spiral out of control with all of the characters shedding their careful control to say what they really feel. Would work very well in a live theatre too.. Very funny, if slightly overdone at times.
