Movie Reviews

The New Republic - 8/10 by Stanley KauffmannSophie Cattani as Julie takes us with her over several borders, and Vincent Rottiers as the latter-day Thomas is complete in his inchoate anger at fate.
Film-Forward.com - 8/10 by Kent Turner[Claude] Miller is a master of oh-my-God moments that at first seem to come out of nowhere but have been carefully calibrated ..., and here there are plenty.
New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenOne of the film's strengths is its detached, even-handed view of someone whose turbulence and fits of rage are ultimately inexplicable, as is often the case in real life.
Hollywood & Fine - 8/10 by Marshall FineWrenching stuff, the kind of unrequited love story that, unfortunately, remains all too common in the real world.
We Got This Covered - 8/10 by Blake GriffinTitillating, thought-provoking, confidently made, involving and well-written and paced all accurately describe this wonderful film.
Shockya.com - 6/10 by Brent SimonA stirring French familial drama of simmering resentment, anchored by a searing performance from young Vincent Rottiers.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Melissa AndersonEven with this blunt treatment of the material, Rottiers appears lost and unsure, never really settling into his overdetermined role.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe DziemianowiczMiller gets points for using a bit of narrative sketchiness to good effect...
User Review - 8/10 by Alan TAussi hypnotisant que profondément troublant, le film trace avec brutalité et une cruauté assez directe le sujet de l'adoption d'un point de vue plutôt déprimant, mais également du point de la jeunesse tourmentée et profondément affectée, ce qui n'est certainement pas négligeable. Cette décision de se lancer sur un vaste sujet d'une manière aussi inattendue, à travers une belle maîtrise technique et plusieurs allez-retour fluides entre passé et présent, permettent aux différents acteurs de briller par leur intensité et leur réalisme. En découle un film semblant discret, mais fort puissant où l'on parvient en à peine 1 h 30 à exposer avec attention et minutie des circonstances ténébreuses qui, à défaut d'être pleinement obscurcient, laissent bien des questionnements en suspens, tout en gardant alerte la réflexion.
User Review - 6/10 by Saad KJe suis heureux que ma mère soit vivante - I'm Glad my mother is Alive - CATCH IT (B) Based upon a true story the movie revolves around a young guy who was given for adoption along with his brother by his callous mother. His obsession with his mother from being toddler till adulthood is explored in the movie. Even though she gave him up for adoption in age 5, he never forgets her and always keeps searching for her. And when he finds her it's really hard to determine what exactly goes in this troubled young mind. As he still crushes on his mother and treat her as the woman he is love with rather than a Mother. The taboo subject matter explored in very dark way. I don't know whether it was good thing or bad thing as director didn't push the envelope, because if he would have pushed the envelope it would have been ranked as one of the most indigestible movies of all time. Here the director played it safe, and didn't go deep within the young guy or even his mother's mind. The whole movie relies on Vincent Rottiers's creepiness. He truly excels in the movie as creepy, confused, and hot tempered jealous guy. I don't why but I really loved Christine Citti as the adoptive mother, she was soo maternal. Sophie Cattani played the role of the despicable mother to her acting capabilities. I think she could have been great but since there is no as such reason for her being a callous besides being pregnant at 17, she couldn't do anything else. On the whole, Je suis heureux que ma mère soit vivante is a good timepass movie about a subject matter no one wants to talk about Ever!
