Rebelles

I expected a little more from Rebels. It's not the typical funny French comedy, it's a little bit of an European gangster flick and it plays on a more serious note. In terms of story, the film offers nothing new, but fortunately it doesn't bore and can entertain on a boring afternoon. It's a film for undemanding viewers and the gentlemen can look forward to Cécile de France, who is still hot at 44. 60%. (03.09.2019)

Strangely enough, I laughed quite a bit, even though the humor was often on the simple side. I enjoyed the setting of the fish cannery the most, where some quite interesting situations unfolded. The performances of the central trio, played by the hitherto unheralded Cécile de France, Yolande Moreau, and Audrey Lamy, were also impressive. Towards the end, the content felt quite far-fetched to me, but I definitely wasn't bored, and that counts for something. (70%) (05.07.2021)
