Review of Gilles

Gilles (2005)
8/10
a true Flemish movie
3 January 2006
OK, I admit. This movie is filled with clichés that return in almost any Flemish movie. A funeral, about one of our national sports (soccer or cycling) and the same actors in almost any movie.

But none of that matters. It simply is a great movie. Touching, funny, tear jerking...

The acting is very decent and the tension between the characters is always present.

Some people say that is has boring camera work, but who cares? It's functional. The accent is on the characters, not on the camera movement I'm not a soccer fan, but you don't need to be to like this one.

The title means "Sidelined". And that's exactly what this movie is about.
