Summary: Between his domineering brother Luc (Jérémie Elkaïm) and his incorrigible father (Eddy Mitchell), Romain (Pio Marmaï) finds that he can't go on being the boy who does what is expected of him. Approaching 30, Romain decides that it's time to face his family as an adult and, in the process, learn more about himself than he ever imagined.Between his domineering brother Luc (Jérémie Elkaïm) and his incorrigible father (Eddy Mitchell), Romain (Pio Marmaï) finds that he can't go on being the boy who does what is expected of him.

The director, Nicolas Mercier, has failed to grasp how repellent his own protagonist seems to us. By the end, he's tipped his hand, and what seemed an incisive portrait is revealed as oddly skewed. Read full review

Although the subject is potent, the film, directed with a seemingly effortless commercial acumen, doesn’t burrow deeply. Read full review

In the absence of narrative urgency or fresh storytelling devices, Grand Départ lives or dies with Marmaï’s performance, but like everything else around him, he’s merely adequate. Read full review
