Rust and Bone (2012)
7/10
Marion Cotillard shines
26 August 2013
Put in charge of his young son, Alain van Versch (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves Belgium for Antibes to live with his sister and her husband as a family. He's a low-rent street fighter. Alain bonds with killer whale trainer Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard). It grows deeper after Stephanie suffers a horrible accident.

I don't find myself that involved in Alain's story. His story is pitiless and relentless. Marion Cotillard is much more compelling. The movie drags every time she's off the screen. I wish this is a movie concentrating on Stéphanie's story. I find Cotillard and her character utterly fascinating.
