Highly recommended

For the first time in many, many years, I'm giving a 10 out of 10. In 2006 one of the movie producers composed a song about this family and this story. The same "rapper" is also in the movie and this is the story about his family and being accepted in the 70s in the middle of a conservative nowhere. Anyway. He might not be the best movie made but it made me laugh and the end made me cry. I loved it and I was expecting this for a very long time. Merci Kamini.

Brilliant satire about race, culture and living as an immigrant within a different society!

Absolutely loved this charming and light-hearted satire!

A lovely family friendly perspective on race and living as an immigrant in an unwelcoming community. The daily challenges that the main characters face make for a touching tale that will make you laugh and cry.

As an expat myself, I can definitely relate on a personal level with the incredibly truthful way this film portrays the challenges of trying to immerse within a new and very different society.

A timely reminder for us.

A film for our times, though based on true story decades ago. A black Congolese doctor relocates to French countryside with his family and face racial distancing by the locals. It's an uplifting story on how the father and the kids turn both the locals and their mother too with their talents and unconditionality. In current times when divisive tendencies are on the upswing, we need more such reinforcements.

The movie is a simple one, perhaps made with modest means. But it is highly effective at what it attempts.

The acting, especially of the female lead is very good. And the kids as well as the male lead are delightful. The villagers all play their role well.

True Comedic Story

What could have easily been a bleak outlook on racism and the struggle for acceptance by an African Doctor and his family in a small village turns into a fun and light-hearted comedy the whole family can enjoy.

With its comedic ups and downs, and a standout cast playing the family, this movie is a fun, good-quality time guarantee.

Great movie!

This movie was heart-warming, funny, sad, and eye-opening, all at once. Showing the difficulties faced by an African family in rural France, in being accepted into the community. It's been on my watch list for a long time, and I'm glad I finally took the time to get around to watching it! Relatively clean, so would be appropriate for children who are old enough to have discussion and understanding of the themes in the movie.
