Le gamin au vélo (The Kid with a Bike) (2011)

Director:   Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne
Writers:    Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne
Language: French
Abandoned by his father, a young boy is left in a state-run youth farm. In a random act of kindness, the town hairdresser (Cecile De France) agrees to foster him on weekends.

The performances of the two leading roles are good but the rest of the characters and plot didn't seem convincing and felt like a very cliched story. Very unlike the usual Dardenne films.

Rating: 3/5
