REVIEW
The more mature discerning viewer will appreciate that this
is a reflection on how things were for some immigrants back in the 1920’s. Not
only starting a new life, in many cases it was starting a life they had not foreseen.
Unscrupulous people are everywhere of course but seeing how one innocent person
is exploited is difficult to watch.
It is a sad story characterized by excellent performances all
around (Cotillard especially) and with great attention to detail that gives this
period piece a feeling of authenticity.
