Quote:

A struggling single father helps a beautiful whale trainer recover her will to live following a terrible accident that leaves her confined to a wheelchair. Lonely and destitute, Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves the north of France for his sister's house in Antibes after becoming the sole guardian of his estranged five-year-old son Sam. When Ali lands a job as a bouncer in a nearby nightclub, things quickly start to look up for the itinerant father and son. Then one night, after breaking up a fight in the club, Ali meets the radiant Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), and slips her his number after dropping her off safely at home. Though Stephanie's position on the high end of the social spectrum makes romance an unlikely prospect for the pair, a tragic accident at Marineland robs her of her legs, and finds her reaching out in desperation to Ali. Her spirit broken by the same tragedy that took her legs, Stephanie gradually finds the courage to go on living trough transcendent moments spent with Ali -- a man with precious little pity, but an enormous love of life.

Great performances and the first two acts are excellent, but the last act really lets it down. Still 8/10 though, and a Day 1 purchase for me

Nice! Haven't seen this yet. That picture at the top of the thread is pretty cool, they should try to integrate it into the blu-ray cover. I'll most likely be picking this up, especially since it comes out in March, WAY to many awesome February releases!

iScottie · 01-22-2013, 05:44 PM

I heard so many great things about this movie, but I don't know if I'll buy it.

thrillmygorilla · 01-22-2013, 07:05 PM

Mmmm...Marion Cotillard.

Visco. · 01-22-2013, 07:07 PM

Blind buying this the first day. The trailer gave me goosebumps. Hopefully the cover art isn't stupid.

Veronica Mars · 01-22-2013, 07:44 PM

I just hope it doesn't have a slip and I can pick it up in April without having to worry that I won't get one.

This is a must have, but March is ridiculously full already. I'm already waiting to see if I can move a 2nd title to April.

Sony Pictures Classics doesn't do slipcovers, though -- or am I wrong on this? Everything Blu I've seen or bought by them never had a slipcover, even when one would have looked really nice, like for The Skin I Live In.

They have cool inside artwork, love that about Sony!

I know about this film, I watched Matthew Buck's Projector review of it, he loved it.

brandon_260 · 01-22-2013, 10:42 PM

Definite purchase, but as it has been pointed out by others, this one might have to wait a bit. March is packed.

Abdrewes · 02-09-2013, 03:45 PM

Pretty fascinating film. Grabbing this one.

It's an odd choice...the main promo image they have from it everywhere would have worked just fine.

what a tease, vague and a tad annoying.

Matthias looks exactly like my best friend 8 years ago.

This. I prefer the theatrical cover a lot better. It seems a lot more personal, too.

I can't wait to see this movie. Heard great things. Day 1 for sure.

It's certainly not pretty but thematically it makes sense.

Cvalda · 02-10-2013, 05:55 PM

Oh god, that cover :X

It's a beautiful promo image, why did they have to tint and and then tilt it? Looks so cheap and tacky.

Moon has a slipcover, but for the most part you are right. They always have the nicer BD cases though.
