   This movie portrays innocence in the most dramatic way. The acting is flawless and represents young people without education as they are. Very moving and well told. For me, the best movie of the year.… Expand

   Before the incident, these young Parisians act as if they'd be at home in a trailer park if they had the money for a RV. But then the husband does something unforgivable, and the emotional age of the mother is brought up to speed. What was plural(in reference to the characters' demeanor), now becomes singular, and the dual meaning behind the film's title is unveiled. "L'Enfant" is a story about arrested development. Although the docu-drama approach to "Le Fils" is greatly missed(this film is shot more like "La Promesse"), the ambiguity remains, albeit later in the game. In "Le Fils", we're not sure about the carpenter's interest in the young boy, and in "L'Enfant", an act of contrition might indeed be an act of self-interest. "L'Enfant" is a very good film, but it's not the equivalent of "Le Fils" and "Rosetta".… Expand

   Superbly acted and directed.A breath of fresh-air amidst the usual multiplex dross. I consider myself fortunate to have seen it.
