One of the biggest successes of French cinema, both with audiences and critics, 'Intouchables' is one of those inspiring stories. After all, by joining together despite their differences, the duo Philippe (François Cluzet) and Driss (Omar Sy) break down barriers, blur boundaries, and show how genuine relationships can be found anywhere. All of this, moreover, with the typical good humor of the duo Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano (from the fun 'That's Life'), who know how to bring lightness even to the most complicated situations. Omar Sy and François Cluzet, meanwhile, bring powerful performances that complete the experience, and make the audience fascinated by the characters. It may be a formulaic movie and one that relativizes some important issues, as some critics insist on saying. However, it is possible to forget all of this and embark on the story of a friendship that inspires and makes us reflect.

This American remake of the touching French film 'Intouchables' which was a success all around the world features a star-studded cast with Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Kevin Hart (Ride Along) and Nicole Kidman (The Others). The story follows the same line as the original: a middle aged quadriplegic who hires a caretaker with little experience, but who opens him up to a world of discoveries. With more American-style situations, 'The Upside' makes use of the great chemistry between Hart and Cranston to engage the viewer.

This is the third collaboration between actor Omar Sy and directors Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, following the huge international success of 'The Intouchables'. 'Samba' is, in the same vein, a comedy-drama with good intentions and a big heart, dealing with compassion for others, but ends up falling into melodrama and in some points even condescension. Once again, it is Sy's charisma that drives the movie, this time with Charlotte Gainsbourg ('Antichrist', 'Melancholia') as his effective double.
