Louise Wimmer (2011)
rather naturalistic picture
The movie is worth seeing, and the subject is of the most importance at the midst of the economical crisis. The performances are quite good and there is a mood appropriate for the subject. But it is rather naturalistic. It's like a documentary but without to explore the causes, the possible solutions. Of course you don't expect to provide complete answers but there is not a hind of them. Neither a deeper exploration of the social issues. And some hints of horse gambling make the impression that to be homeless and in such a condition is your fault, not a social problem. There are a lot of unanswered questions about the relationship with ex-husband, her daughter, her debts that leave a mystery not in favor of the heroine.
L'envahisseur (2011)
a different, racist image of an immigrant...
I agree with another comment that the film offers a quite different image of an immigrant shown usually in films. But I want to make a step further, it is a racist image. Obama (whatever his name is) represents a threat to others. Sometimes we find it justified (when he revenges killing the "bad" guys) sometimes unacceptable ( the case with Agnes), but is a threat. Lot of times his look is threatening, without a specific reason and this is the whole idea I think. When you look at him wandering around without prospects what do you think? that he must be expelled, he must be sent back to his country. Unfortunately this is the point of view of the majority in real life...
