Goliath

Great film, great actors, very powerful. This film should be seen by everyone, to think about what we eat every day and the impact it has on other people. A must see.

No pun intended - actually exactly what the movie (title) suggests. There is a reason the title was chosen - it is more a metaphorical giant of course. An enemy that cannot be seen - well he/they can be seen in the movie, but I mean generally speaking. You may not be too aware of a specific thing the movie is telling you (us), but you understand where it goes ... you understand the heart of the movie and you get the fight of the ... well common people.

And it is not something you can attribute to one country. You had health/ecological issues in all countries .. depending on how much international politics you watch, you will already know that ... a strong drama(tic) entry ... very well played and well edited. Important movie ... especially if you dig it.

Not a wonderful movie but a good play by all the actors. Gilles Lellouche and Pierre Niney are very good in theirs characters.

Regarding the topic, it's a Frederic Tellier's movie with the Bads (companies & lobbies) and the Goods (ie activists). And the Goods have to win. Of course the topic about chemicals products is very interesting and the consequences on the health of farmers and neighborhood of the farms and the fields. But I don't like this kind of position, too unique. So, I don't know what thinking about this movie, if I liked it or I hated it.

Watch it to have your own opinion on it.

A French chemical company is selling a pesticide that has worrying effects. Three people become entangled in a subliminal battle for the power of interpretation. Unfortunately it's not a new story, but one that has been with us repeatedly for what feels like five decades! But telling such stories remains an important necessity, whether it's about Monsanto and glyphosate, groundwater pollution (ERIN BROCKOVICH) or addictive cigarette companies (THE INSIDER).

Gilles LELLOUCHE as a patient lawyer, Emmanuelle BERCOT as a combative teacher and Pierre NINEY (again: GREAT!!!) as an unscrupulous lobbyist are entangled in the dispute over a toxic pesticide. This is less about tension and more about the difficulty of the level.

But it is interesting to see how naturally lobbyists like the one played by NINEY use internet trolls to destroy opponents. Whether a superstar like Ariana GRANDE can enjoy selling expensive concert tickets to such a wealthy parasite is another matter. But that's just how business works!

780,000 admissions in French cinemas, $5.767 million in the box office worldwide!

Excellent movie. It has several important and subtle details that only keen eyes can connect. Luckily it completely anguished me from start to finish. The construction of the characters, the relationship with the unfortunate reality, the performance of the actors, the colors, the camera movements. Nothing is by chance, each scene brings a deeper reflection, we just need to know how to read that. A true work of art, congratulations to all involved.
