Most helpful review The Kid with a Bike

  • Realistic, touching, thought-provoking drama

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By StormOrphan (113 reviews) from SUTTON , 06 Nov 2012

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This is a really well done drama about a boy in a home looking for his father and menaing in his life surrounded by good people and bad, trying to pursue his take on happiness. Well acted, realistic and convincing, a brilliant lead performance by the young man and main protagonists, well worth a watch unless you're the sort of idiot reviewer for whom a film is good or bad depending on if it's 'in foreign' and has subtitles - in which case stick to the normal gore and titillation you know and leave intelligent movies to people who appreciate them.

    Superb acting from Cyril. I have worked with kids with these issues, and it really showed their troubled life realistically

    What a great film, good acting and unbelievable but true storyline that some fathers and mothers can abondon their child. The child actor was just brilliant..

  • It's not a French film

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    I have really enjoyed the movie. Yes it's sad and yes it's tough. But no, it's not a French film (sadly). The directors are from Belgium and the action also takes place in Belgium. I really wish they were French (I am!)...

    A sad and sensitive film. You have to watch it, the kid that plays Cyril will make your heart bleed. A tough watch but do it now...

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    Quite intense and somehow unsettled with a very open ending. Not enjoying it as much as I was looking forward to seeing this movie.
