The largely unstarry ensemble feels cohesive and sincere, although the principal actresses are noticeably stronger than some smaller parts.
Pros: emotional impact, cultural representation
Cons: score quality, character development
The largely unstarry ensemble feels cohesive and sincere, although the principal actresses are noticeably stronger than some smaller parts.
Pros: emotional impact, cultural representation
Cons: score quality, character development
The civilian friends sometimes each get a satisfying action or comic moment, though several talented supporting actors are left without much to do.
Pros: action sequences, lead performance
Cons: entertainment value, faithfulness to source material
The cross-cutting keeps police, military and thieves in play, and some appreciate how peripheral characters become important. Others resent a scattered focus that leaves talented players stranded.
Pros: entertainment value, pacing
Cons: ending satisfaction, screenplay quality
The focus on Andréa and Noémie works, but supporting favorites such as Gabriel, Hervé and Arlette sometimes get too little room to develop.
Pros: celebrity cameos, humor
Cons: pacing, ensemble balance
