Don't Worry, I'm Fine (2006)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Picked up for €1 at a car boot sale in Normandy as it had English subtitles mainly because it looked a promising subject. We certainly bought into this well acted story for 1hr30 although the film was about half way through before the searching began. However, the film then lost all credibility with a totally unrealistic explanation as to Loïc's disappearance. It is interesting to note the lavish praise other reviewers have heaped on the film given this glaring weakness in the screen play. It would have been better to have left the viewer uncertain as to Loïcs ultimate disposal. Hence only 4 stars. Have however sought out a further two films by the director.

this film is basically one of the best movies i've ever seen (and i've seen a lot).it is very rare for me to get so exited about a film. it means a lot that i had thought about it all week and couldn't get it out of my mind...the story is hard to tell without revealing anything, but it all begins with Lili coming back home from vacation, and her parents telling her that her twin brother has run away... thats when it all begins. the main theme song is amazing, and the actress which later appeared on INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is rare... a must see movie.

I was given this movie and did not know anything about it. I have been very touched by the story. The actors are very good in their roles and don't overact. The film was quite hard sometimes however it really shows how strong the family links between brothers and sisters can be. The relationship between Lili and Grenouille is also full of reality. It is hard sometimes to understand how the father react to the cruel words read by his daughter on the cards she received but it is his way to protect her and it is a very noble act. Melanie Laurent is a little rising star for the french cinema. I really advise you to see this movie as it is a beautiful one.

This is a very low budget movie. There is no very famous french actor starring in it, the director is not really famous. I went to see the movie with a friend who had already seen all the movies I wanted to see at that time. The most famous actor is Kad Merad, but he is not famous for is acting talents, but is famous for a show he presented on French TV. Nevertheless, I hope he will be famous one day for his acting talent. And I hope Melanie Laurent and Julien Boisselier will also be too. Because in such a low budget movie, you cannot hide the mediocrity of the actors or of the script behind great visual effects. And this movie fully complies with the " good actors and good script" thing. It is the story of middle class family with two kids living an ordinary life. Everything will be changed when the son, a musician leaves the house after a argument with his father. The daughter is completely moved by this. As we watch the movie, we'll feel a profound empathy with the actors. I hardy seen a movie where one can feel the subtle changes of feeling of the characters. It is so extraordinary that I wanted to applause at the end of the movie, as if there were comedians on a stage. It lost the kind of unreal thing that rises from the fact that it is a picture on a screen and sounds coming out of speakers. One last thing I'd like to mention is the main song of the movie. I was a little chocked by the fact the voice doesn't sound like a song made by a 20 year old boy. but it is really a magnificent one. it sounded to me like the best song Nick Cave had ever written, it is really a great one.
