It didn't make a dime, but it's a beautiful movie.

Tori and Lokita
(2022)
|
Tim Cogshell
|
Whenever [Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne] turn their camera to the black African population, it's very important because what they are saying is "these are French folk, and we're including them in our narrative canon."

The reason it doesn't become a rambling mess is because Morgan Freeman and Florence Pugh are so damn good.

The individual fight scenes go on for way too long until they become numbing... [But] it's a lot of fun here and there.

It's not as good as Spotlight or Zodiac, but it's perfectly involving.
