Entertaining, optimistic without schmalz – shortage of drama though

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2017)

The movie works incredibly well for the following reasons: Disability is treated with dignity, Hollywood schmalz is avoided and most notably the actors are convincing and the audience can sympathize with them very early on. This is a good basis for the humor, which mostly comes from the contrasting ways of life.
The run-time could have been half an hour longer, which could be filled with a dramatic moment, for example a lack of trust between the protagonists leading to a conflict. Or anything that could have put a bit more drama and even more realism in this friendship. Philippe's depression is also skipped a bit fast. So all I can give to this otherwise great movie is 8/10.
