    Bad seeds - what are they good for?

    And in contrast to war, there is a different answer. If you didn't get my music reference don't worry, this is still about this movie and you should get what I'm trying to figure out with my question nevertheless. Can someone who has become a certain way (due to certain living standards, paths he or she took and other stuff) actually change? It's a main theme in this movie.

    The movie may be predictable (although I had a moment of thinking of too many double crosses and coincidences), but it still is nice to watch. You have many different characters and all of them have certain flaws ... and you see them develop and overcome some of those flaws ... blossom to take the seed analogy ... but are the roots stronger or the mind too weak still? And where exactly would a good development go, if it happens?

    Beautiful, inspiring and comical

    Funny but at the same time serious. Exposes a truly sad reality but at the same time it conveys hope and positivity. Creative, ingenious and beautiful movie.

    Simple movie, intelligent

    Very french, slightly impossible. romantic plot but enjoyable and well made. Decent movie, lacks a little of realism and specifics in the story but then again it doesn't aim to be that kind of movie. Overall delivers his message well.

    A real hidden gem

    This is a really beautiful, human film about connection. Catherine Deneuve is spectacular as always, it's just a real treat of a film!
