Decent enough story though I'm not sure that the bad guys looked particularly bad in this, quite the contrary, I'd say.
Surprised it received the accolades tbh, good but not brilliant, imo.

Quite a sensitive portrayal of life as an immigrant in France today right up until the weird, jarring ending.
This was on my list, but wasn't on netflix so haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, I've still got it on DVD from a while ago, so watched it that way - it's quite good, but probably wouldn't pay for it. De rouille et d'os is better if you like Audiard.

Papa was not a rolling stone - about a Jewish girl growing up in the Paris banlieues in the 80s. Watchable enough, but couldn't really figure out what kind of film it was trying to be or what point it was trying to make.
