4.0 out of 5 stars Life on the edge of society, 26 Oct 2006
By L. Davidson (Belfast, N.Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
"The Child" is a thoroughly gripping film, well acted and perfectly paced. It is the story of a young homeless couple who live on the fringes of society eking out an existence from petty crime. They have a baby and the father decides to sell the child without letting the mother know.Needless to say she is none too happy when she finds out and the father's slide down the slippery slope continues apace in the aftermath of the sale. Can redemption be found ? "The Child" is a film that is well worth watching and I found it to be enjoyable and dramatic .

5.0 out of 5 stars The best French film I've seen in ages, 17 Jan 2009
By C. S. Broughton "filmfreak" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Telling the simple tale of a young couple trying to manage a baby in the darkest and poorest corners of 21st century France, The Child is a truly amazing piece of French cinema. The drama and action so close to genuine reality that sometimes you forget you're watching a film. The acting was inspiring to say the least and the precision of the direction was incredible- most the film being shot in amazing 2 to 3 minute sequences.

Having grown up under similar circumstances, the film provided for me a fascinating journey back in time. The Child was a beautiful, quietly effective, and almost life-affirming surprise. Buy this DVD and reserve an evening to yourself- you won't be disappointed.
