About a month ago, after watching the trailer, I did not feel I was in the mood for this movie. It seemed like another movie about cruelty and perseverance. Today, I noticed Helen Mirren and Gillian Anderson were in the cast so I chose it.

The cinematography, set design, costume and all those things we only notice if there is something wrong was just perfect. Orlando Schwerdt, Mirren, Anderson and the evil of Jim Mathews were all spectacular performances. Narrated by Mirren, this movie was a must see for anyone specially if they have kids entering any school.

The landscape of this beautiful French town questions my sanity of why I don't travel enough. Overall, this is a story about kindness and the lack of it. The pressure of trying to fit in and being afraid; not understanding what true strength really is. Since Mirren was also in the present, I felt safe watching the story unfold because she would survive. I wish it could have been presented a tiny bit differently so this safety would have been removed. Besides this, the movie delivered the message of choice and strength.

We all have little birds in our lives; we might not know we have them until you are in a position that offers it. Then, the little bird shows up and it gives you an existential placement.

I recommend you watch this film and check the room for light and wonder. It's so true, kindness is stronger than all the other options available. We are but memory of all the choices we make in life and the history we create. We develop our own paths in a direction and it can be modified at any moment. The most courageous people are all around us. The wolves will one day come for us all. Will you be ready ?

After looking at the trailer, I thought this movie was a comedy. It is not. The story is about the common misconception of the American African American community. Everyone take out your PC handbook and walk carefully through the maze of what is and what is not acceptable. If not, there are people waiting to use this code to beat you to a pulp.

Sure enough I get how this film was overdue because of the portrayal of many in a group is just not right. What I find annoying about this film, specially after complaining how pathetic, ridiculous stereotypes are, is how they have one gay character who has most of all the pathetic reductions of being gay.

The writer's joke is how African Americans are exhaustingly stereotyped wrong and yet. They place a gay, muscular, married man, with very tight clothes, who is a drug user and has lots of sexual encounters outside of his heterosexual marriage. BAM !

Stereotypes for the African Americans is ridiculous but let's go ahead and throw all these exhausting gay stereotypes on our gay character.

For me the movie was not funny; it was one sad situation after the next with their own disdain of stereotyping smack in it.
