Caught by surprise is an appropriate heading for this review, as this movie certainly achieved that for me...
Found this movie difficult to walk away from, themes simple and common, yet the challenge so many of us face kept my attention from start to finish.
François Cluzet's portrayal of Yann Kermadec certainly rang true for myself.
Such frustration certainly many have felt at other times, yet here the message clearer, that first we need avoid knee-jerk, so allow time so for us to consider our position, how we should wish to be treated, then work through it...
Samy Seghir as Mano Ixa certainly my sympathy was for, reminder of why refugees need both be fully and properly considered for their reasons resulting in their actions. (Such positions governments often to timid to actually take considering basic human rights.)
Certainly worth viewing and considering for others who may experience so need understand the dillemma's faced by so many as events unfold..
