A decent, if not surprising story.
But so many details are marring this movie! Idiotic decisions pile up one after the other, and irk viewers who have even a half-alert brain.
American movie makers seem to think that speaking gutturally passes for French. There's no point doing it when the locality suffices, and it's annoying that this whole movie is spoken like this. Moreover, Angelica Houston should have taken a clue from Jean Reno, who's actually French, and tone way down her guttural speaking.
And why is an old woman feeding pigs in a tiny village high in the Pyrenees in FULL MAKEUP (lipstick very apparent)???
Yet one more gaffe, just from the first 15 min of this movie: people in hiding, sneak back to the village late at night, after curfew, and instead of doing it stealthily, they are singing out loud???
I am no rocket scientist, but any decent person with half a brain should stumble over these ridiculous details.
