Synopsis
Stéphane (Damien Bonnard, Staying Vertical), has recently joined the Anti-Crime squad in Montfermeil, a sensitive district of the Paris projects. Paired up with Chris (Alexis Manenti) and Gwada (Djebril Zonga), whose methods are sometimes unorthodox, he rapidly discovers the tensions between the various neighborhood groups. When the trio finds themselves overrun during the course of an arrest, a drone begins filming every move they make.

Honestly just left this movie feeling kind of frustrated, but not in the way Ladj Ly presumably wants me to be. Obviously it’s hard to discuss a film like this without letting your own politics seep into your interpretation, but the film seems to want us left imagining the…
demi adejuyigbeMay 16, 2019My first Cannes film!!! (grace if you’re reading this, sorry for dipping so fast, there was a lot going on) This was fantastic. Such an angry film that really puts its morals in your hands which I appreciate. Some of my favorite films of all time are those that deal with…
KarstenMay 15, 2019Pointedly repurposing the title of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about the laws of nature and grace, Ladj Ly’s “Les Misérables” bears little outward resemblance to the epic story of Jean Valjean and his stolen loaf of bread. But Ly’s first narrative feature — a gripping and…

5th film I saw at VIFF 2019. I found the film to a mash-up of Training Day, La Haine, The Raid and even The Hate You Give. Strong performances across the board with Alexis Manenti stealing the show. The 2019 French submission for the Academy Award for Best International…
Sean BakerSep 17, 2020Contrary to its title, this is not another film adaptation of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, but it somewhat carries the same ideologies as the book and it also took place where Victor Hugo wrote the historical and recognizable novel. Les Misérables (2019) depicts an…
allain♡Jan 19, 2020Huge letdown, given its Cannes accolades. Strongly recalls La Haine, Do the Right Thing, and Training Day, among other films, but does everything worse than each one of them. Takes a lot of plot contrivances to get where it needs to go, and those contrivances wind up taking…

Großartige Milieustudie, ernüchternder Statusbericht einer desillusionierten Generation und faszinierender Einblick in Pariser Polizeiarbeit in einem, roh und verdammt lebensnah. Wie „Training Day“ im echten Leben. Ich hätte den schillernden Figuren der Banlieues noch…

Heavy-handed and predictable in spots, yet engrossing and provocative in others, it’s an impressive if somewhat unruly debut

Ly surveys all his characters without judgment, but a longer, richer version of this movie might have distributed its sympathies to even more powerful effect.

For all its familiarity, Ly’s film is executed with enormous confidence and energy, building up to an apocalyptic ending that delivers on a gradual build-up of nervous tension.
