100This superbly acted, expressively filmed story offers a rare blend of compelling drama, ethical awareness, and sheer human emotion.
-
100Terrific French film about that most universal of subjects - work.
-
91Acompelling, cant free drama about clashing class systems and challenged family relationships that's all the more engrossing for its organic, near documentary style.
-
91When it all comes to a head, what seems ordinary blossoms into something deeply complex and emotional.
-
90A cogent human drama.
-
90This sharp, convincing, and utterly contemporary political film calls to mind some of Ken Loach's work, full of passion as well as precision.
-
83An extraordinarily absorbing neo-realistic tragedy.
-
80What could easily have been a dry, didactic film is granted unusual power by Cantet's cast, all of whom seem to innately understand the personal nature of Cantet's subject.
-
80What makes this straightforward film so incredibly moving is that it keeps its scathing political commentary firmly rooted in everyday struggle.
-
80Restrained, tough, and subtle enough to be as engrossing on the second viewing as it was on the first.
-
80Human Resources resonates because it restores the humanity to that dehumanizing title phrase.
-
80Concerned with fathers and sons, expectations and dreams, ideals and reality, this completely engrossing film gets more involving as it goes on.
-
80The movie's dramatic climax is a father-son confrontation of stunning cruelty. Although the movie stops short of outright tragedy, it is suffused with a grief born of rifts that may never be mended.
-
79Most tenderly, the film deciphers the true meaning of its corporate-speak title in Franck and his father's impassioned struggle to ensure each other's welfare.
-
75A valuable, heartbreaking film about the way those resources are plugged into a system, drained of their usefulness and discarded.
-
75The result is an undeniable and effective authenticity.
-
75Offers highly effective performances by a cast of real-life employees without previous acting experience, who also collaborated on the intriguing screenplay.
-
75A fresh, striking and rewarding piece of work.
-
75A rare film about the class and educational divide that can happen even within families.
-
75At its best when it's hovering around the muted dysfunction between a father and a son, who never understood each other to begin with.
-
70Part of the problem may be the use of non-actors in most of the roles. They look like real people, and they are entirely believable, but none has any kind of star charisma.
-
70Far from an amusing romp.
-
67Human Resources, which gets my vote for most sarcastic title of the year, isn't a stand up and cheer kind of film.
-
63A working-class drama that has its heart in the right place but undercuts itself by stacking the deck, letting its main character off too lightly and being overly impressed with its own profundity.
-
50Works so well for the first 40 minutes or so, that when the bottom falls out of it, I felt more than disappointed. I felt betrayed.
