A BRAS OUVERTS (WITH OPEN ARMS)
Watchable. Interesting but not funny. If the creators wanted to ridicule stereotyping immigrants, they didn't succeed - the Romani here are primitives, thieves, beggars and parasites. The whole film resembles "Borat" without the vulgarity. The movie shows that sharing is an empty slogan - we don't want to resign from our standard of living to raise theirs.
I left the cinema with some free food samples, a gratuitous cup of tea, collected a free magazine on the way and generally feeling happy to live in the better part of the world.
MA VIE DE COURGETTE (MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE)
Watchable. Deeply sad. While it seems to be an accurate depiction of life of children from troubled families who end up in orphanages or foster care, it's so doleful, sombre and heavy, it just feels like a social commercial imposing a guilt trip to collect money for a noble cause. The movie will be comprehensible to adults and children alike, even if on different levels.
Children from such families were present at the screening with their foster parents were surprisingly quiet and well-behaved. How come they are better-behaved than kids from regular families?
