The Ones Who Stay

About This Movie

The Ones Who Stay offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of three contrasting characters navigating their own crises. Alexandre's search for direction feels painfully relatable, and the chemistry with Loris, the cynic with his grand plans, adds a quirky dynamic. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it works, pushing you through emotional highs and lows. Then there's Patrick, with his heavy decision about treatment, which brings a somber layer to the comedy. Manon's entrance shifts the whole atmosphere, creating a tension that feels both refreshing and jarring. It's a blend of humor and introspection, where the practical effects are minimal but the dialogue shines. A mix of lightness and depth that resonates well, particularly for anyone who's been lost or adrift.
