• Sh...life in the suburbs

  You have here a pure social drama with some comic and delightful touches. The story of a young black teenager who have to deal drugs in order to survive. But he also attends school in the same time. The young actors are absolutely convincing here. This movie is also less depressing or bleak as you can expect for such a drama. A pure example of what the french film industry can make to entertain the audiences and bring them some reality, the true life in the suburbs. I will emphasize on the comic situations that doesn't spoil the seriousness of the overall talk. A good time waster but not more. I guess it's a first feature for the director. A good try.
