Le Ciel Attendra

How can our youth become involved with terrorisme and religious extremism? This movie tries to address that question and does wonder in my opinion.

It may be sometimes a bit too didactic for some but I enjoyed that part and actually learned things, even after having watched documentaries on that topic. It show and deconstrut really well how a lost young adult could fall to the sophisticated method used to enrol them. They really becomes prey of recruiter, that are trained, and which actually happened to be djihadist. They could "sell" another ideology the result would be the same.

Of course, they are a few weaknesses and the timing difference was a bit disturbing for me but that didn't prevent me to enjoy this movie, learning but having a nice time as well.

Nota: it is also appreciable to see French movies tackling contemporary social and historical issues, and that with high quality, both cinematically and in research on the topic.

To watch if you want to understand better than the "it's the parents / child fault!".

Don't know much about Islam or jihadism, but this movie really hits you and teaches tou a lot about the subject. Performances are excellent, the narrative takes you step by step on the brainwashing journey these girls go through, where they'll loose everything they've known for a promise of a life after dead that will finally cost them every piece and connection that makes them human. Movie is slow yes, but it pays off. Highly recommended if you're not in a hurry or want watch something meaningful.

Loneliness, fragility and a world filled with superficial thoughts take the best of the main characters and make them vulnerable. Performances are deep and true, the story is slow and complex interrelating how both characters became prey to a hunter. It is not a film about faith, is a film about feeling alone and wanting honesty and love.

I don't give reviews for each and every film I watch but this time I couldn't control myself for not giving my opinion.

"Le ciel attendra" what a film. The film has everything to keep you in your seat along the film. I was very moved by the subject of the film. I wanted to see the exact transformation from a normal person to an anti-citizen. The cinematography, the editing, the narration, the dialogues, actors performances, direction and everything was awestruck.

Once I came out from the theatre, I started doing publicity of the film everywhere and with everyone.

Long way to go...

Thanks for this nice film!!!

My opinion---

With Heaven waiting, we plunge into the pitiless universe of young, influential adolescents who drown in social networks and are projected into a universe full of illusions and manipulation. All these young teenagers who are influenced by all the obscure currents of the net. This movie shows us with all its brutality, how young teenagers fall into the radicalization of extreme religious movements, in order to get rid of everything, their brains are taken hostage without even realizing the Danger that threatens them. What director Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar signs her striking movie of truth, an essential movie, terrifying of realism, an uppercut in full face and facing this realism of our present society. One can also say that the interpretation of the two actresses: Noémie Merlant and Naomi Amarger interpreted their role with an impressive truth, that it was even cold in the back and gave this movie all the power to movie, facing these scourges And facing the strategies of recruitment of this youth so easily malleable. A movie showed in the middle school to precisely show all the terror that will follow after, to be trapped by these crazy terrorists without any scruple. A movie that raised my tension so much, I thought, is to say the strength of it. A movie really meditated on the future of a certain fragile youth. But I still end by force and presence in their respective roles of the two young teenagers, they really amazed me.
