Tori and Lokita

A strong & bold piece of cinema,reminds me of 7 Prisoners. Although it grabs your attention for most of the part, it falters at times. I believe climax required some more work, but a promising piece of work, regardless.

(Mauro Lanari) Do you all remember the images of smugglers' trucks full of dead migrants? Disappeared from newspapers and television news. Chaplinian anthropology: "Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference" ("Monsieur Verdoux", 1947). "One death is a tragedy, a million is statistics" (misattributed to Stalin). The crime chronicle overflows with small little nefarious events with which perhaps someone still feels empathy, when then the number rises to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th power, is transmuted into a cynical and cheating destiny. The Dardennes don't care and with their films they give to the beautiful souls of the red carpets what the confessional gives (gave) to the Christian Democrats: the opportunity of feeling cleansed to start again immediately after. Booed at Cannes, only 9 comments on IMDb, less than $600,000 in receipts. That's good: we can sing Branduardi's nursery rhyme with them.
