MeganNov 16, 2024Moi j’ai prédis que les hémorroïdes de Terracid allaient revenir le 26 novembre 2024 est ce qu’on m’a donné un César ? Et bien non, that’s life 🤷♂️
GrimkujowJan 29, 2013I'd heard so many recommendations for Un prophète from people with good taste, on Letterboxd and before I joined, that at some point I forgot that it's a two and a half hour prison movie. An extra-large helping of a genre I usually avoid. Fuck. Not long after Malik's…

The idea is to leave here a little smarter. -Reyeb I missed Jacques Audiard's 2010 Oscar Nominated Best Foreign Language Film three years ago and I regret it now. I knew it was obviously good by the multitude of high ratings it was getting from Letterboxd users, but I…
Mr. DuLacMar 26, 2021jesus... this is one of the best films i've ever seen. it's done so perfectly that 2hr 30 mins flies by, and leaves you wishing it never ended, and wishing you could wipe your memory and experience it all for the first time again. it's so clever, and does the 'mafia' type…

Just hit 1,000 followers, thank you all so so much! Recommended by @Ehamstra8938 "I work for no one. I work for myself." thrilling, perceptive, tough and brutal. Jacques Audiard created a crime scenario that was both extravagant and realistic. This is some master class…
dari 𓋹Aug 7, 2024Coming to confined spaces, walls you weren’t meant for, and bars you're not built to exist - unsure of where to fit, while scared of picking a side. Inevitably knowing you're deep in this hole, and it's already too late to stay untouched. Guess, adapting as it is, is the…

- Sabrina Bondi lovedA Prophet
A prophet is an incisive crime saga told within the confines of concrete walls and deprived humanity. A movie that stands with the best prison thrillers from any country; a film that vividly illustrates the connection between prison and violence.

Though less pleasurably offbeat than the helmer’s well-received “Read My Lips” and “The Beat That My Heart Skipped,” this is solid, sinewy pulp fiction.

Variety
Jacques Audiard’s film, which lasts two and a half hours, maintains an unflagging urgency, stalling only when the double-dealing grows too dense.
