July 24, 2019 They not only deal with the stress of their jobs but the inevitable fall-out in their personal lives-breakdowns, divorce and adulterous relations within the force. It is pretty uncomfortable to see Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, so powerful as the lead in Mia Hansen-Løve's The Father of My Start Your Free Trial. Supremely and superbly character-driven, this film is a throwback to many of the best police dramas of the past. July 24, 2019

But it does a good job of setting apart their individual stories, and the dismay and disgust about what they have to see every day. Even if the film acts as a collage of raw experiences, skipping from one event to the next one with an unforgiving pace as an attempt to mirror the vigorous pace that their lives follow and how they struggle everyday, constantly, to balance their personal lives with such a psychologically and physically demanding job, it also manages to encapsulate your senses and attention span to every single event depicted.
This is done thanks to what may be the best screenplay of the year, which makes the characters fight against the authoritarian barriers within the CPU, and get emotionally involved with their cases and between themselves.

But as a movie, this 'inside' look at the dozen or so dedicated members of the Parisian Child Protection Unit is conspicuously lacking in coherence and depth.
Some of this odd drama about the Paris police cracking down on child abusers works but there are some awful tonal misjudgments. That emphasis on realism, in plot and portrayal, has paid off. That and the movie's idea of high drama being yelling and screaming lead to only one case that truly resonates.
