Review of Ricky (2009) by Xavier G — 13 Oct 2009
Honestly, I'm not sure what to make of this film. A sad story about the lives of a working class family who expects no miracles and is practically hopeless.
François Ozon has given us fine specimens of cinema, but this one just confused me. The characters down to even the daughter of the family are just impossible to like and sympathise with. I don't know of this was allegory to promoting tolerance towards the different or if it was simply a movie with a flying baby.The way the mother advertised her baby, the way the father abandonded it, the way the daughter wanted to harm it out of jealousy, the way its departure was presented...
I found it unnecessary, and the visual effects are just not convincing.The editiing is crude and sloppy and this is an Ozon film I choose to forget.
