To Mathieu

About This Movie

So, 'To Mathieu' is this pretty raw drama set in Normandy, focusing on the lives of two brothers. You really feel the weight of familial responsibility, especially with the father losing his job over smoking – that scene hits hard. Matthieu’s quest to get his dad reinstated is just brimming with frustration and a sense of futility. The pacing has this deliberate flow, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the factory and the brothers' strained relationship. The performances are quite compelling; you can sense the tension between them, particularly with Eric's new family pressures. It’s got this gritty realism, and the backdrop of working-class struggles adds layers of depth. Not flashy, but definitely striking in its portrayal of loyalty and hardship.
