Our Children

About This Movie

Our Children is a haunting exploration of family bonds and the complexities of love, directed by Joachim Lafosse. The film delves into the intense relationship between Murielle and Mounir, who seem to have everything figured out—until the weight of familial ties begins to suffocate them. The performances are raw and emotional, particularly how they capture the tension between desire and obligation. The pacing feels natural, almost like a slow burn, allowing viewers to really sit with the characters and their conflicts. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken words and the heaviness of decisions that can't be undone. It’s that blend of drama and romance, but with a stark realism that really strikes a chord. Not your typical love story, that’s for sure.
