    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although the real-life 'Driss' was a young Algerian man called Abdel, directors Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache changed the character's nationality to Senegalese, as they had enjoyed working with Omar Sy on Tellement proches (2009), and really wanted him to play the part. Sy also had the experience of living in the impoverished French suburbs, just like Driss.
    • Goofs
      When the police car first appears behind Driss, you can hear a short burst of the siren, which is clearly an American-inspired tone (also used in UK etc.) When the pursuit begins, the police car has the recognizable and correct French siren tone.
    • Quotes

      Philippe: My true disability is not having to be in a wheel chair. It's having to be without her.

    • Crazy credits
      Five percent of the profits from the film will be donated to the Association Simon of Cyrene - 15 rue de Suffren - 75015 Paris whose purpose is to create shared living spaces for disabled adults and friends.

    10/10
    Just excellent
    I am now trying to find words to describe this movie for an hour. I couldn't.

    You've seen it, or you haven't. It's monumental and outrageously good.

    The cast is brilliant. The jokes lovely. The story and the idea behind the movie is beautiful. Especially when you've worked/lived with handicapped people. The music is such a perfect choice, it is unbelievable.

    I hope this movie makes a plenty of people think about how good their life is and how bad it could have been.

    Bottom line: Oscar-worthy. Period.
