Not bad

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2015)

So, I will go with the flow of the others and say that this is really a wonderful and touching movie. I guess it just adds to it that it is based on the true story. However, I will not agree that this is the best French movie as it is certainly not! Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain is the top French movie (for me)!
I think that the movie has to thank its high score to the brilliant and utterly convincing acting of Omar. His acting and presence really are believable and you feel connection to him and to the millionaire through him. Of course, the story itself has the universal appeal of compassion, understanding, struggle and faith.
I liked the part that touches on art. 40.000 euros for a painting with a red dot on canvas?! And Berlin gallery new artist painting ... clever!
Yes, this is a clever movie. No wonder it gets high scores.
Although it is set in Paris, somehow I think it would have been better if there were more scenes with the city itself. Nine from me!
