All the descriptions of this movie made it sound like it was about selling children on the black market. That part was like…10 minutes of the whole film. I understand it was indie, but there was no real development there.

I watch a lot of independent films and a lot of foreign films. If you are not used to either, you might not get through this one. It’s a sleeper movie, the characters aren’t developed, but I guess they don’t really need to be.

I don’t really understand why it made so many great reviews and accolades. This definitely isn’t a favorite of mine, but the actor who plays the main character, “Bruno” did a good job.

L’Enfant is a subtle and understated story about a couple who have a child and then make some difficult decisions. It’s a remarkable film with no music and an observational style that simply follows the characters around as we watch what happens. Beautiful shot and acted, it seems as if it’s a documentary shot on location with the participants, but it’s actually a carefully constructed film.
