Les Misérables

...a gripping experience, tense and upsetting, showing how seemingly small events, perhaps manageable in the particulars, can balloon into something out of control, like a fire exploding into a conflagration.

...tense, explosive and urgent. A powerful fiction debut from documentarian Ladj Ly.

...a police drama set in a tough Paris suburb..

...paints an admirably uncliched portrait of banlieue life, as vibrant and diverse as that of Céline Sciamma’s Girlhood.

...en engagerande brandfackla som belyser förorten ur flera perspektiv och kopplingen till Victor Hugos klassiska roman om osynliggjorda människor i samhällets utkant hade inte kunnat vara mer välfunnen.
