6 h. ago Souleymane’s Story review – superb performance ballasts drama of man clinging on in the margins in Paris

Abou Sangaré is magnificent in a story that shines light on the enforced invisibility of economic migrantsThere’s a turnaround in the climax of this noctambulist Paris immigrant drama that suddenly charges the film’s seemingly neutral title with meaning. Food courier protagonist, Souleymane, is hopefully in the process of altering his destiny, and this key scene is carried by fantastic acting from Abou Sangaré: trembling violently as a lifetime’s tension and struggle, as well as the daily grind of an app wage slave, comes pouring out.Souleymane is a kind of every-immigrant, clinging on at the margins of the French capital. Hailing from Guinea, he sublets the delivery app account of Cameroonian Emmanuel (Emmanuel Yovanie) in order to work. Under constant pressure to meet food delivery targets, he needs money in order to pay fellow Guinean Barry (Alpha Oumar Sow), who is coaching him how to pass his asylum interview the day after next. But the harassed Souleymane struggles to reproduc...

2 w. ago Better Days review – modest, honest study of woman trying to grapple with a drinking problem

Valérie Bonneton is terrific in French drama about women in rehab that gets a little carried awayThis French rehab drama begins with some painfully realistic scenes showing the grim slog of maintaining a hidden drinking problem. At night, after her kids go to bed, mum of three Suzanne (Valérie Bonneton) gets a box down from a high cupboard. Inside is her stash of vodka, which she carefully siphons into mineral water bottles for the next day. There is no pleasure in her drinking; it makes her foggy at work and detached from her boys. Bonneton, better known in France for comedy roles, is terrific, with her warm, worn performance, not a scrap of sentimentality in it.Suzanne hits her rock bottom after a car accident; the court puts her sons into the care of their grandparents and orders her into rehab. First comes denial. “Some wine with dinner,” she tells the doctor who asks her about her drinking at the all-female unit. Other residents include Diane (Michèle Laroque), a famous actor w...
