An outstanding film

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2015)

I usually don't like race changes in films, but I thought that Omar Sy and François Cluzet made a great pair. Great chemistry rarely seen on camera. Just great pacing and great energy. Although not the most accurate biopic. You get a sense of how this relationship truly was. This is one of the rare films where the deviations from the actual story aren't cringe worthy or grueling to watch.
It was done in good taste. Entertaining from start to finish. Great character development. I also loved the fact the this never feels like a studio film. It never feels like film shot on a lot. I uses a natural background in most of it's sequences.
I was only half way through watching and wanting to give this film a 9. I rarely ever give a film a 9. But when Earth, Wind, and Fire are playing in the very beginning it's very difficult not to.
