Toutes nos envies (2011) **
Marie Gillain plays a dying judge who tries to help a heavily indebted woman.
Presumé coupable (2011) *
A horrifying miscarriage of justice. Based on a true story. There are many very strong moments, but the film fails to present a coherent emotional vision. As results, it's an uneven mix of the gripping and the unwatchable.
La Vie meilleure (2011) *
Depressing French drama about some very bad business decisions leading to a life of misery and despair.
La Conquête (2011) **
Political drama about Nicholas Sarkozy's presidential campaign. The film presents him in a highly sympathetic light, but also suggests that he was all style and little substance. And so, ultimately, is the film.
