L'Enfant (2006) |
"As a slice-of-miserable-life drama, L'Enfant is no picnic. But that is the value of a Dardenne film. The brothers indulge in social and cinematic realism, obliging us to look closely at the unwatchable." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"Cotillard's performance is worth the watch -- particularly for the way she responds to the thankless task of sympathetically depicting the less-than-appealing caricature Piaf becomes toward the end of her life at 47." |

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006) |
