Movie Rating

La guerre est déclarée

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

Comedy (!) in which a couple tries to save their baby, who is suffering from cancer.

Roméo and Juliette (Valérie Donzelli and Jérémie Elkaïm) are deeply in love. They have a child called Adam and build a family. But their happy home is threatened when the boy develops brain cancer, and the couple finds themselves running from hospitals to specialists. Confronted with the worst news, Roméo and Juliette realize they need a strategy to fight the enemy and mobilize the troops. The true story of an organization with a military aspect aimed only at victory...

Actor/director Valérie Donzelli's second film after La reine des pommes, about the difficulties in dealing with the health care system in the face of a serious crisis. Intelligent and sensitive without ever becoming sentimental, this film is both fiercely moving and humorous. A new discovery at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival's Semaine de la Critique.
