Jerod S The French answer to why you grow up and get married before having kids and why committed relationships are important for society. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A grimey story of one man's emotionless descent into immorality. Well captured and feels real. A modern French classic. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review dave s It's evident early on that L'Enfant is a film from the Dardenne brothers, from both a style and theme perspective. Sonia (Deborah Francois), a young woman with a newborn, is in love with Bruno (Jeremie Renier), an incompetent petty thief and man-child with no moral compass. When he takes things a step or two too far and sells the baby behind Sonia's back, things take an understandably bad turn in their relationship. It's a story about survival and, ultimately, some form of redemption as the young couple try to come to terms with the course of events. The film loses some steam over the second half as the focus is primarily on the repugnant Bruno as opposed to the more intriguing Sonia, but it remains fairly compelling viewing from the always interesting Dardennes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review nefasto r Another stroke of ultra-realism from the Dardenne brothers, another powerful tale, another very good film."Take responsibility of your actions": this seem to be the invisible line connecting all of their works, and all the one I saw deserve to be watched. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Honestly this movie is just really boring and sucks. I just don't care for it I felt that it was a waste of time I rather watch "The Kid" on top on that the characters aren't interesting at all Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Are kidnapping, stealing, and lying somehow more meaningful or artistic in French? L'Enfant tries to dress those actions up as a moral fable or redemptive tale, but really just shows us a very unattractive person being very unattractive to pretty much everyone he encounters. The consequences are predictable and not that interesting. Nearly any viewer's time will be better spent watching something else.
