    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Matthias Schoenaerts spent two months boxing, doing MMA training on a daily basis and also doing weightlifting and eating junk food like burgers, ice-cream and pizza in order to gain weight and a little belly, because Jacques Audiard wanted Ali to look strong but not fit, a bit unhealthy because the character is poor, so he doesn't have the means to feed himself properly.
    • Goofs
      When Ali first carries Stephanie to swim in the sea, as he lifts her off the sun lounger, the actress's real legs cast a shadow.
    • Quotes

      Alain van Versch: [Talking to Stéphanie on the phone] What are you doing?

      Stéphanie: At this moment? In life? Or in general?

      Alain van Versch: I wanted to say that...

      Stéphanie: I'm not asking for anything. I'm hanging up. I'll call you to ask about Sam. Give him a kiss?

      Alain van Versch: Don't hang up! Don't hang up!

      Stéphanie: I won't hang up.

      Alain van Versch: For three hours... he was in a coma. For three hours, he was dead. I was scared of losing him. Don't leave me!

      Stéphanie: I won't leave you!

      Alain van Versch: I love you.

    Marion Cotillard shines

    Put in charge of his young son, Alain van Versch (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. He's a low-rent street fighter. Alain bonds with killer whale trainer Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard). It grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident.

    I don't find myself that involved in Alain's story. His story is pitiless and relentless. Marion Cotillard is much more compelling. The movie drags every time she's off the screen. I wish this is a movie concentrating on Stéphanie's story. I find Cotillard and her character utterly fascinating.
