Robert M @Robert963 05/14/2024 Enjoyable whodunit (or whodidntdoit). Characters not fleshed out very well, but the story-line keeps you wondering.

This entire film is too clinical and too arms-length to share in the father's sadness and anger, which is sort of strange considering how shocking the circumstances of his child's murder are. In the end, it's at least a brisk and refreshing hour and twenty minutes, but perhaps they should have added in about 20 more minutes of character establishing shots and plot. See more 03/04/2016 Dujardin plays Richard Malinowski, a police detective married to an anesthesiologist. He's an upright guy, happily married, with a beautiful nine-year old girl, Emilie. The movie opens with Richard and Emilie having breakfast in their very lovely home one happy morning while mom is working her shift in the hospital. The phone rings, Richard answers the phone call, and leaves his little girl home. That was the last time he saw her alive. Counter-inquiry grabs you from the start. It is a gripping murder mystery, the story is compelling, the characters are believable, and Dujardin's performance breaks your heart. I won't give away the plot. This is an excellent film that grabbed me from the start. . See more 01/02/2014 Through persistent correspondence over the course of three years and new elements in his possession, police captain Malinowski starts to doubt the man convicted for his 10 year old daughter's murder is actually guilty and starts a counter-investigation on his own. Strong drama with a complex plot, it's short (75 mins) and characters could have been developed more, but recommended as a solid French thriller. See more 12/30/2013 An ok movie with an unexpected ending. Not bad for French cinema trying to imitate Hollywood. See more Read all reviews
