Community Reviews
Opinions on 'Battle of the Classes' are mixed, with many appreciating its intelligent humor and the way it addresses serious social issues without being preachy. The performances of Leïla Bekhti and Édouard Baer are frequently praised. However, some viewers felt the film's ending and certain plot developments were forced or overly simplistic, detracting from its overall impact. The film's approach to complex themes in a light-hearted manner was both its strength and, for some, its weakness.
👍 Intelligent humor intertwined with social commentary.
👎 Ending may feel forced to some viewers.
