Community Reviews

Opinions on 'And Their Children After Them' are mixed, with some viewers captivated by the nostalgic and emotional portrayal of adolescence in a desolate industrial town, while others found the film lacking depth and too derivative of other works. The acting, particularly by Paul Kircher and Gilles Lellouche, was praised, though some criticized the pacing and emotional engagement. The film's adherence to the novel's themes was appreciated, but its execution left some viewers wanting more.

👍 Strong performances by lead actors.

👎 May feel derivative and slow-paced.

Bien aime, mais sans plus, un peu long par moments

Quelle pression après le sublime livre éponyme, peut être trop. Pourtant on y retrouve beaucoup de choses plaisantes : des décors léchés, une BO qui donne envie de chanter du Johnny à tue-tête, des espoirs du cinéma français (Hacine & Anthony), un Gilles Lellouche époustouflant de justesse et un scénario bien rodé. Pourtant, le film, d’une demie heure trop longue, s’essouffle et ne réussit pas à nous entraîner entièrement. Il manque parfois de souplesse et de liant, certaines scènes paraissent interminables, d’autres bien trop courtes.
