The Intouchables Review

The Intouchables Review:

One day my friend and I could not think of a film to see. When we came around the title The Intouchables, we took a chance. It was a masterpiece. This film was very limited, but once it got more attention, it opened more in limited theaters.

The film is funny, but mainly a drama. It takes place in France and is subtitled. Philippe (played by Francois Cluzet) is a quadriplegic man who gets hurt in a paragliding accident. He needs a caretaker since he cannot move around or do anything. Then he comes across a man from the projects named Driss (played by Omar Sy). They start building a friendship and start to learn each others background. It becomes serious and so engrossing that you do not want to take your eyes off.

The Intouchables dragged at the beginning at first. However, every moment in the film had lighting where the lighting would darken in dark scenes and lighten in scenes where it is joyful. However, most friendship movies have not been subtitled. Overall though the film had a good plot line, two good actors, and the right ending. Later on this year, depending on its press it can get some Oscar buzz. I would give the film a solid four stars.

Stay tuned for more reviews!
