This movie is very charming and knows how to put you under a spell. The starring is extraordinarily good. The family's handicap is not the centre ot this movie. It is about the young girl Paula, who tries to transform into a woman, while her childhood gets roobed by acting as an adult already during her young years.

Louane Emera does her job very well and knows how to put feelings into her play to underline the theme of the movie. As a very special aspect the film does not try to point a finger directly at what the intentions are.

Besides the drama in the main act "La famille Bélier" also contains comedy and when Paula has to translate at the doctor's this scene is full of external shame. Louane Emera is a very good singer which she proves throughout the whole movie. The scene in the end where she has the audition is so good that it makes you burst into tears. Very impactful.

"La famille Bélier" is entertaining and contains a very intersting topic that also can convince visually. Unmissable

I hate stereotypes. In gay movie it is often full of this. A gay man is always seen as feminine, making wild gestures, being sassy, speaking nasal.... That is all this movie also gives to you. A bunch of stereotypes which make ALL the characters very unlikeable.

It is very difficult to connect with them - especially with Bob. Of course he must be the untrained, chubby not so good looking guy who also does not make it to be funny in a positive way.

Though this movie is labeled as a comedy there is no joke that really works. The dialogs are flat as some mens shirtless stomaches and the whole movie is a boredom fest.

Either gay or straight this kind of story is copied billions of times and in the end there also is a very bad dialog which should win a "razzie".

I just watched this movie because of Nicholas Brendon, but he is just playing his role and can't be blamed for this bad piece of script.

Well.... I have to admit that I am a huge fan of "Buffy" and because of that I did watch this movie because it's with Nicholas Brendon. I have to say, that I cannot say anything against his acting, because he is doing a great or even the best job of all the actors on this movie.

Adrienne Barbeau, the main actress cannot ban the audience to the screen because her acting is beyond professional. She never gives you the feeling she is doing something for real and it may be the problem with the whole movie. As a main actor you have to carry the plot and if you suck, then the whole movie might do it as well.

I have to admit that the plot also is not so exciting and the special effects lack of persuasion. Even shock effects are not there because e.g. when oh so scary graphics are flipped by the characters there is this sound effect which shall imply you that this should be scary but you are just like "Yeah, I got it... but there is nothing frightening at all...Can you skip to the next part already!"

And there is one point when the actress just screams for Lucas all the time, which will clearly annoy you as much as it did annoy me.

I think a horror movie is hard to create because you easily can stumble into a comedy. In this example it is neither. This movie lacks of excitement, a good plot and the genre specifics. Not worth the watch
