Negative Positive
Title: The Town is Hopelessly Damned
Review: Another overwrought French film which suggests to the viewer that life stinks, especially for the working class, for whom, apparently, there is no joy or beauty. So you might as well kill yourself or kill the perceived source of your anguish. I really learned nothing about the complicated social fabric that is Marseilles or how the troubles that afflict these French might be addressed. I think this movie appeals to people who enjoy being manipulatd and are happy to leave the theater saying "Mon Dieu! That was wrenching!"
Is the review positive or negative?
