As most critics said, the source material is mostly at fault here. The plot is just completely unfocused, the editing is at times bizarre and most characters are just walking clichés.

The plot is just completely unfocused, the editing is at times bizarre and most characters are just walking clichés. The strongest point of the film is the acting, especially Vincent Cassel and Marion Cotillard, they gave fantastic performances and completely elevate the film overall. It's a worthwhile watch for the acting talent involved, but I don't think I would recommend it. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is very much a drama, a family drama which is heavily dialogue based and depicts a somewhat nasty and perhaps intolerant, certainly selfish, father figure and numerous others. It is understandably sombre and thought provoking at times. Its a little slow moving in terms of the plot but I thought its a relatively decent depiction of a clearly dysfunctional family. Its worth seeing but it may not appeal to all, unless your keen on films with characters talking at length, challenging one another - family confrontations and lots of shouting/swearing. I can't say its a film I'm likely to think of much in the future as such but its certainly not bad. I found the final scenes somewhat moving but I'm keeping my rating as it is as overall I'd say its not an especially gripping or overly memorable film. Perhaps it was a bit too bleak for me, even though I do tend to like dark dramas. Expand
