unHollywood realism
By Rehan (127 reviews) from London , 23 Sep 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This film isn't entirely free from pseudy or affected moments but - my God! - when the French do realism it's in a different GALAXY from Hollywood's usual triviality and shallowness. At times the acting is so in-your-face that it's uncomfortable, but in the best possible sense.
This isn't a film to watch over dinner (believe me), but it's just stunning.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Thegaycritic (72 reviews) , 25 Nov 2012Raw and emotional. Brothers getting to know one another as adults for the first time. Watching this, I cared about the characters.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well acted, emotional and realistic.
By MarkyCub71 (7 reviews) , 01 Jun 2012I enjoyed this film if only for its realism and the story was intriguing and somewhat dark at times. Worth watching and brilliantly acted.- Was this review helpful to you?

A proper French film.
By Dacarius (11 reviews) , 03 Feb 2012A good and proper French film.
Although the movie has a magdalen aura, it delivers a very strong account of human psychology in the face of illness and social differences. Don't expect it to jump out of the water and hit you, more that it will slowly invite you in to swim with it.
Definitely recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Life in the Raw
