Intrinsic. Very good film. Bon Chance. Thought provoking; very sad.
Another good film. Thanks. More like this please. Totally absorbing. Lovely club.
Heartbreaking. Very good but very sad. We must always do our best.

Many complex issues – how sad. Sad at the end: I’m glad I’m English.
So Mona ends up in an arranged marriage, knowing that the person who loved her died trying to get to her….
And they all lived….. Sad but enjoyable.
I almost hoped for a happy ending!
So much in life depends on where you are born. One of the saddest films I have seen.
More like this please. So many issues covered – sensitively done.
I don’t need this: life is sad enough. I want films that make me happy.
Something happier next time please.

Showed the power of an individual story.
Predictable story – nicely acted and photographed.
An affecting tale, well told. Good choice.
Thought provoking – what a difficult world we live in. Very moving. Superb acting and direction.
All the more powerful for being understated. Very well acted indeed.
Brilliant acting – very moving. Loved the music. Very sad but compelling with superb acting.

Well-judged. Cast a light on a nearly invisible (unseen) situation.
Very moving and especially interesting information about detention camps, rules regarding helping illegals, forced marriages in the UK.
The human driftwood of our vile actions overseas – hope some of the others really make it next time.
Heartbreaking. How can kindness be illegal?
We live in a privileged society. I had no idea the French had such wicked laws.
The French did not behave as our media implied.!
Another haunting allegory ( along with Un Prophete) on France and its ills.
Very moving story – a good insight into what goes on across the Channel.
Absorbing and believable – what would I have done? Good choice.
A lesson about compassion and humanity for all.

Utter tosh from the makers of la-la land. Total waste of space. Why did I stay?
Great improvement on the last one.
Simon’s ex-wife must have the same hairdresser as Helena Bonham-Carter. Very poignant.
You don’t very often see French people that scruffy.

The next film will be Up in the Air on Thursday March 24th.
