A small gem that sparkles

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2012)

Other then "Driving Miss Daisy" the relationship between a care-giver and his patient is not the kind of story that comes out of Hollywood. That's why when you see this gem you'll be reading sub-titles.
There's an award worthy performance by Omar Sy in role of the care-giver. Outstanding use of music that is melded into the story.
At times the sub-titles blend into the background and are hard to read. The movie is a tad too long. There is a lack of father daughter relationship in the movie that already seems to have been left on the cutting room floor.
It not the kind of story that draws a wide audience. In the summer season of rehashed super heroes and explosions, a story about humanity and friendship is not going to attract a large audience. The movie is in limited release but seek it out.
