Essay

For films about anti-domestic violence, I personally prefer the name "Family War" translated from the Taiwan version. Domestic violence has always been a very sensitive social topic. This film is very cleverly shot, and it takes up to half an hour at the beginning. The court negotiation explained the background of the story. The contrast between the mother who is restless and a little embarrassed and the father who is calm and polite makes people think that the story...

thunderous

The last time I watched a movie in college life was dedicated to this "Guardianship". In fact, I have some origins with this film. I noticed this film when I attended the French Film Festival last year, but unfortunately I had to give up because of the conflict of time. This year's French Film Festival was destined to be unable to participate because of graduation. When I learned that the "Art Association" had finalized the film, I immediately bought...

Isn't the complete separation of internal relations in the family also a kind of sadness?

3.5/5
"Domestic Violence" is a core direction of the film. The director's presentation of this key issue is layered and sharp. The sense of hierarchy is reflected in the plot arrangement and the gradual exposure of the hidden domestic violence tendencies in the father (Antoine). , the sharpness is based on the foreshadowing and accumulation of the whole film, which converges in the last scene, and...

terrible machismo

Since the film festival, it seems that I haven't been out to watch a movie for a long time. Among the many blockbusters, I chose a small French movie, because the shortest 93 minutes.
Although the film is short, it is very exciting and informative. In the beginning, both parents competed for custody of their son. Under the circumstance that the father was known to have domestic violence, because he said "boys need father's discipline", it should have been raised by the mother...

Domestic violence is horrible

The rhythm of French films, the plot unfolds slowly. In the beginning, a couple filed for divorce. The husband resigned and came to the city where his wife and children lived. The son expressed his disgust for his father in writing.
The plot unfolds gradually. The father insists on being with his son every weekend. Even though his son is sick and reluctant, he has to follow his father to his grandparents' house. The relationship between the grandparents and the father makes people...

A family custody dispute movie with the effect of a thriller crime escape. The long foreshadowing ahead is only for the final explosion, and everything is exhausted, and silence is better than...

Once sleepy and strong support, the foreshadowing is a bit long, and the story is slightly thin. However, the father's domestic violence in the film is not presented through exaggerated language/behavior violence, which also makes the last illegal entry into the house amazing. The sense of pressure is pressing, and the sound of the elevator is the finishing touch. The frightened emotions of mother and son are enough to trigger empathy through the...

Dad has a rifle and a dog named Sally, and every time he picks it up, Sally barks. When Dad pointed the gun at my Mom, she couldn't stop barking. Sometimes I feel like Sally, forced to see him every weekend, sitting in his passenger seat like his dog. When you're in a good mood, you kiss close to your face, and when you're angry, you stay silent. That day he raised his rifle and punched through the door. In the bathtub, my mom and I were hugging each other tightly, as if we were in...

After reading the director's resume, it turned out that the previous film was a short film about domestic violence, so this debut feature film was naturally made into an extended version. No wonder I always feel that this film has such a one-way dimension. Of course, a short film can capture an atmosphere and a feeling that it is no problem to shoot, but a long film feels too thin and lacks...
