Movie Reviews

CineVue - 8/10 by Peter GutiérrezDespite featuring lots of talking, Omar Killed Me never gets talky. Instead, it simply plays out like a compelling murder mystery.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by R. Kurt OsenlundThe adherence to a Grisham-like structure all but kills the film's chances of leaving a lasting impression.
The Skinny - 6/10 by Chris BuckleBouajila, in particular, is excellent in the lead role, convincingly internalising complex emotions: defiance, desperation, anger, and defeat.
User Review - 10/10 by Pikoe TA great film, taking the viewer through so many loops of emotion. A solid cast but Sami Bouajila shines, completely dissolved into Raddad. Add this to your list.
User Review - 10/10 by Anti RA very beautiful film about the innocence of a man condemned because he was an Arab in France. Too bad it took 20 years to pledge his innocence.
User Review - 10/10 by Carine BUne histoire vraie d'un homme innocent, brisà (C) par l'erreur de la justice. trè à (C)mouvant et très bien interprà (C)tà (C) par Sami Bouajila.
User Review - 8/10 by Brice BThrilling movie about a French legal scandal, based on a true story. Sami Bouajila is brilliant as Omar, who is falsely accused of a murder.
User Review - 8/10 by Ola SA French woman is found murdered. With her blood, she has written "Omar m'a tuer" = "Omar killed me". It's not correct French. It's not the way a French woman would write such a thing, But Omar is the Muslim gardener from Morocco and it suits a racist police force, prosecutioner and court to find him guilty. But a journalist starts to investigate... This is more than just your common trial drama, because there isn't much drama around. The story isn't what's most important, it's what the story does to those involved. That makes this a more effective cry for justice than any clever lawyer freedom fighter show. Good acting in a French environment we're not used to. The rhetorics are less important than the silences. Roschdy Zem is the director and he lifts a tired archetype, shakes it and returns it to us. Thanks for that.
User Review - 8/10 by Fabien RPour sa deuxième rà (C)alisation, Roschdy Zem frappe fort en s'attaquant à l'affaire Omar Raddad qui a fait couler beaucoup d'encre dans les annà (C)es 90. Avec beaucoup d'authenticità (C) et de sobrià (C)tà (C), Sami Bouajila incarne ce jardinier marocain accusà (C) du meurtre de sa patronne, Ghislaine Marchal, en 1991. Entre zones d'obscurità (C) dans le dossier, demandes d'analyse ADN toujours rejetà (C)es à l'heure actuelle, meurtre potentiellement antidatà (C), impossibilità (C) de rà (C)aliser une autopsie et incomprà (C)hension du suspect qui ne parlait pas français lors de son arrestation, "Omar m'a tuer" prend le parti d'Omar Raddad sans trop verser dans le plaidoyer. Adaptà (C) du roman d'Omar Raddad, "Pourquoi moi ?", ce film de Roschdy Zem est servi par des acteurs de talent, Sami Bouajila en tête, et rà (C)vèle l'importance d'une affaire qui a brisà (C) un homme. Parmi ses soutiens, son avocat, Maà (R)tre Vergès, mais aussi un à (C)crivain, Pierre-Emmanuel Vaugrenard, dont on suit en quelque sorte la contre-enquête au long du film. Simplement mais brillamment rà (C)alisà (C), "Omar m'a tuer", qui fait rà (C)fà (C)rence bien sûr à l'inscription en lettres de sang trouvà (C)e sur les lieux du crime et qui voulait accuser clairement Oma Raddad donne le sentiment qu'une erreur judiciaire doit être rà (C)parà (C)e. Là où le film rà (C)ussit à (C)galement c'est qu'il manie brillamment une à (C)motion distillà (C)e tout au long du film et Sami Bouajila est très touchant. Pour l'histoire, grâcià (C) en 1996 par Jacques Chirac et libà (C)rà (C) deux ans plus tard, Omar Raddad a passà (C) 7 ans en prison (sur les dix-huit annà (C)es de rà (C)clusion prà (C)vues) et demanderait toujours aujourd'hui des expertises ADN comme le laisse entendre l'à (C)pilogue du film.
User Review - 8/10 by Stephane Cgros film la mise en scene est juste ca tombe pas dans la pathos le plus beau role de bouajila
