Siloé rated ★ 7/10
C'est un film où la tristesse et tout ce qui l'entoure y planent tout le long. Que ce soit la culpabilité, la honte, la colère, la souffrance même physique, tout le panel y est. Le film se termine avec une note d'espoir mais j'ai quand même été freiné par le constant schéma de la mort qui précipitent les liens. Peut-être que je commence à être fatiguée de ce genre de films, mais ça m'a pas empêché de pleurer.
Synopsis
