• The Dardenne Brothers' masterwork... Transcendentally powerful, compassionate drama... As gripping as any thriller.

  Very good

  Interesting and realistic story about how a young lad can get himself into ever escalating levels of trouble. Nicely acted and set. Well worth watching as it's very thought provoking. Not the cheeriest of films mind, but then sometimes life isn't all smiles and rainbows.

  C'etait ok

  This film wasn't bad, thought provoking and nicely acted. Deserved the Plame d'Or that year I believe.
  
  However I really cannot understand of these comments of 'DO NOT WATCH UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEGREE IN FRENCH - I didn't pay to read a film!!!'
  
  What the hell is wrong with your imbeciles? The film is called L'Enfant!
  
  A foriegn film whatever next, you stick to your Bad Boys and Next Friday films; wouldn't want you opening up to new ideas now would we?
