Featured review
Despite this movie last 1h40, it ends so quickly... I would like to follow this tenderness limbo so much more...
I read the books "Chroniques de l'Asphalte", and the style and truthness of simple people is all here in this movie. I think the stories are quite different, so I really hope Samuel does another "sequel", like he did with his books.
Hollywood usually bet on extraordinary people, Samuel bet on real ones, simple moments where the true magic of life appear. Too many people, me included, forget what is love, human and share themselves instead of copying others.
Suburbs are beautiful, that's the part the director choose to screen, and I can't express my admiration enough!
Thanks also to the whole team, the actors who were great for accomplishing such a "normal" and tender movie!
Be aware that there is no exaggeration, pretension or stereotypes in it, only some strange events that participate in the magic of life.
