D: Ofir Raul Graizer.
S: Sarah Adler, Tim Kalkhof, Zohar Shtrauss, Sandra Sade, Roy Miller.
Food and love and a seismic secret, which is hard to swallow. The charm and ending allow us to buy it.
THE GUARDIANS (Les Gardiennes) ★☆☆☆☆
D: Xavier Beauvois (The Price of Fame, Of Gods and Men).
S: Nathalie Baye, Iris Bry, Laura Smet, Olivier Rabourdin, Nicolas Giraud.
Interminable. Dramatically inert.
1900 and SUNSET SONG this isn't.
RACER AND THE JAILBIRD (Le Fidèle) ★★½☆☆
D: Michaël R. Roskam (The Drop, Bullhead).
S: Matthias Schoenaerts, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Kerem Can.
Pacing problems. Random plotting. One-last-job crime cliché. But leads have chemistry.
