Conceived as tailor-made characters for the four actors, the roles obviously fit them like a glove, though the stories are not always as engaging as the characters in them.

Jul 15, 2009

Jalil Lespert's second outing as director is an interwoven tale of four people, each with their own problems, who's paths cross on Christmas Eve. Nothing remarkable acting wise or story wise, though it does flow pretty well until the last segment involving Sami Bouajila, which feels like it's just been tagged on at the end. Not completely terrible, but not a film I would chose to watch a second time.
