Truly Dreadful Film

Let's be realistic.

A Major Disappointment

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This project almost didn't get off the ground artistically because it is loaded with so many inconsistencies and improbabilities. When the parents of 19-year-old Lili walk around like zombies, evade all attempts by the girl to learn her brother's whereabouts and generally bring the story to a halt, it's up to Melanie Laurent to inject as much life as she can into the plot. That she is so successful is a tribute to her great talent and charisma as a performer. The hospital scenes must have been especially difficult for her, but they work very well. I must say she looks very convincing as an anorexic. Aissa Maiga as Lili's friend and Julien Boisselier as her boyfriend also provide strong support (but Boisselier seems a bit too old for the part).Philippe Lioret on the basis of the three films of his I have seen, seems to be a capable but hardly inspired director. He relies a lot on the actors to drive his pictures.

this film is basically one of the best movies i've ever seen (and i've seen a lot).it is very rare for me to get so exited about a film. it means a lot that i had thought about it all week and couldn't get it out of my mind...the story is hard to tell without revealing anything, but it all begins with Lili coming back home from vacation, and her parents telling her that her twin brother has run away... thats when it all begins. the main theme song is amazing, and the actress which later appeared on INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is rare... a must see movie.

Elise is a young woman 19 years old who return home after having spent a school year in Spain. She meets again her parents and is surprised not to see her twin brother, Loïc. Her parents explain to her that her brother has left home after a violent quarrel with their father. But, she is astonished not to have received phone calls from him. She suspects that something arrived to her brother, but she has no means to get news from him. Then she decides to stop to eat. Her parents are obliged to send her to an hospital and it's only when she receives post cards from her brother that she stop her hunger strike. But things are not simple and she shall discover later truth about his brother disappearing. The movie is a very dramatic painting both on conflict between parents and child, but also on love that ties twin brother and sister. Acting is very good, specially for Mélanie Laurent and Kad Merad and I consider this movie as a great one.

Philippe Lioret is french movie director. Most peoples haven't even hear about him. here's what the movie is about.Elise,let's call her lily, is a twenty years old girls. When she comes back from Spain, her twin brother is not at home anymore. He has left home after he had intensively argued with his father, and lily's missing him a lot. Very soon, lily will be reproaching to her parents not to do enough to find him.This classic conflict between parents and their twenty years old daughter may seem ordinary, but.. But Melanie Laurent, who plays lily, is simply great. Kad merad who plays his father is astonishing too,just like every single character. the movie is becoming progressively more and more better. Although the movie beginning didn't seem to be fantastic, when i left the theater, i was thinking: what a slap in my face!!!And if you want to see a great movie that put in scene particular relationships between different peoples, that will blow you away,don't hesitate, go see this movie.
