I have always craved for the Dardenne brothers material; more realistic than the real life. No music, no basic, ankward explanations, no useless and endless talks, only situations and the minimum of dialogues that the audiences have to deal with. That's what I like in this brother's cinema, their trademark, with always a social topic, as Ken Loach also more or less proposes. Gourmet is also excellent, as usual. In this drama, social drama, you are stuck to the story, to every scene, and slowly but surely understand what's going on. I am not a specialist of this kind of directing but I still appreciate it, and I was really moved by this one. Truly, deeply.
