L'Enfant


This movie brought you through the meandering rivers of teenagers as they grappled with responsibilities, identities and a sense of personal goals towards their lives.

You watched the young couple deal with unstable lifestyles at the edge of the forbidden dark lives of the crooks. For young Bruno is fighting to stay alive by involving himself with petty crimes and selling whatever he can lay his hands on. While young Sonia is just starting to work on building her nest with the arrival of a baby boy, Jimmy.

You noticed the difference in value between a boy and a young mommy and soon realised that something bad is going to happen to them in which one of them will live to regret. Bruno paid he price by attemting to sell off his own baby.

Regretting his action, you see how he transformed himself through a very quick growth period into a responsible person who faced with music instead of running away from it and thinking there is always another day.

I must said the acting offered by Sonia character is limited as the movie focused very much on Bruno. It is a serious movie if you have the patient to deal with hardship and stupidity.

Rating: 3 out of 5 fairy clouds.
