Our critic:
Maïwenn indeed slipped into the daily of the Brigade of Protection of the Miners and restores, a foible of this film, the different situations which punctuate the day of the cops of this brigade (paedophiles' police custodies, maltraitants parents' auditions, depositions of the children, maintenance with dropped teenagers). So much to say it from the start, the film is a complete success. In spite of its rather long format, 2 h 07, the film enthralls us from end to end, notably by a judicious balance between the job of these policemen and their instants off, where it is possible to measure at the same time the impact of their profession on their personal life, and the brotherhood which links them.
One had been a bit sold us this film, as a film in the film since, once again, Maïwenn put on in stage in the role of the watcher. But in fact in no way. His character is fair there to take pictures, doesn't ask question and parasitizes therefore under no circumstances the unwinding of events, of remarkable fluidity. This watcher's role, she had played it upstream of the film, on the occasion of internship in BPM.
No, in fact, his character is there to interact with the character of Joey Starr, Fred, a cop of the brigade, entirety, who finds it very difficult to digest what he faces every day. Its benefit had rather been applauded during the broadcasting of the film to the Cannes film festival and, indeed, it is really rather well. It is in no way the toy a bit provoc’ of Maïwenn, but an actor rather subtle who juggles skilfully with his coarseness and his cheek on the one hand, and a much more sensitive versan of his personality, as much in relation to the children, as in relation to the young woman whom he wants to entice. It is besides what the film director had tried to show of the one that she had run in The Ball of the actresses.
The casting as a whole is very good. They have a feeling that Maïwenn succeeded in mobilising them on its plan and they donent their best. The duet Karin Viard - Marina Foïs is with great attention to detail, and the first one gives us bluntly some instants of pure genius. This acrice-born sickens us sometimes the visible easiness...
Contrary to Maïwenn when she received the Price of Jury with Canes, her film is never too much, what would have been able to be the reef with this type of subject. It is besides interesting to see that the emotional climax of the film isn't played around subject sensitive hyper of paedophilia, but around a child whom his mother, without resource, homeless, prefers entrusting to a home. One harrowing stage.
If, often, these cops don't reach their aims, what creates huge frustrations, the film highlights the important job which is done in term of verbalisation. They are seen formulating and reformulating things, so that they are clear, at the same time to help the victim to rebuild and so that the file of accusation is concreted. It is interesting to see policemen working in this sense, on words. They won't come back into details but balance is well most high quality of this film which, without developing abundantly, takes the time to show that paedophilia is played in all social circles.
But once again, balance it is found between the job of the policemen and their personal life. If Maïwenn put the focus on the character of Joey Starr, he is one other (Iris / Marina Foïs) which is there to say many things about what can cause this type of job at a woman: denial of the body, reluctance for the men …
It is possible to think that by showing us policemen of the BPM who kid around, who live it up, who stick together, positive Maïwenn things, but in reality, through this character of Iris, whom she develops by small very subtle keys, she reaches only the single official report: black it is black!
