Résumés(1)
A la suite d’un accident de parapente, Philippe, riche aristocrate, engage comme aide à domicile Driss, un jeune de banlieue tout juste sorti de prison… Bref, la personne la moins adaptée pour le job. Ensemble ils vont faire cohabiter Vivaldi et Earth Wind and Fire, le verbe et la vanne, les costumes et les bas de survêtement… Deux univers vont se téléscoper, s’apprivoiser, pour donner naissance à une amitié aussi dingue, drôle et forte qu’inattendue, une relation unique qui fera des étincelles et qui les rendra… Intouchables. (La Pellicule Ensorcelée)

I have no hesitation in giving this all five stars, even if it is a purpose-made product, full of cliché and the right type of humanity. It flows past pleasantly, always something happening, and even above average in terms of acting. The customary French tempo has left the handbrake on, so in fact it rolls on just right for us to be able to appreciate the millionaire’s attributes... The Maserati, the great bath tub. I agree that sooner than later we’ll see an American remake.

En France, Intouchables bat des records d’audience et est en passe de franchir la barre des quinze millions de billets vendus. Les Français transcrivent à merveille la situation actuelle et sont de véritables maîtres dans le cinéma social. Quant au duo central François Cluzet/Omar Sy, il nous gratifie d'une prestation remarquable et nous séduit dès les premières minutes. Malgré tout, mon cœur penche plutôt pour un autre film qui vient de sortir en même temps, même si le genre est un peu différent, à savoir Polisse.

A comedy built on contrasts of the characters’ respective natures and the setting and which more or less just mulls over the idea of also being a social drama. The film outright plays it safe. The plot is regularly livened up with minor conflicts and the montage sequences prevent it from becoming too slow and boring so as not to repel viewers. The comedic lightening-up of the situation only occasionally gets out of control (the dance scene resembling a music video) and disrupts the pleasant cruising on the surface of harmless images. It’s still unrivalled as a cure for crises of all types. 75%

A pleasant dramatic comedy with likeable protagonists that here and there delivers some dark and incorrect jokes, but that in the end is nothing but your typical feel-good fairytale with a humanistic message, or a film that is in no way exceptional. And that’s why it has received so much attention, because its exceptionality cannot piss anyone off. It's just so generally likeable. 7/10

This is one of the series of nice and positive movies that doesn’t follow the templates and negative atmosphere of contemporary movies but that tells a true story that you will keep taking with a pinch of salt, all the while knowing that the movie is really close to the truth. It was really a pleasure to watch this film, both actors put in really excellent performances. Omar Sy was maybe slightly better. His acting reminded me of a 1980’s Eddie Murphy. It was great, finally a movie that I will watch every time I get the chance and I will know that I won’t easily be bored with it. It came out of the blue and it immediately hit me right in the feels. I tip my hat off.

A black angel in a bourgeois mansion. In America, African nannies teach middle-class children emotional completeness, in Britain, a Yemeni sheikh preaches to depressed heroes about the meaning of life, and in France, a Senegalese beanpole gives a quadriplegic millionaire the motivation to do things by turning the idyll of the rich people into a soft version of a Parisian suburb (at the same time, of course, he assimilates himself with the beauty of "high art"). If this isn't a midcult crucible with all the ingredients, then I'm a legless satyr. The Intouchables is related to both of these films by the fact that they are dead from the waist down (including the heart and balls), but after all, it burns them well enough so that one cannot hurt their feelings. It is cheerful, warm, sometimes even slightly beyond the edge of political correctness, but it is, as the Georgian Schnauzer would say, non-conflicting and wrapped in silk. The French know how to make these multi-cult ornaments, and the powerfully applauded work of the pair of directors has the beautiful feature that at least it doesn't force you to watch any clichéd social and political stereotypes (at least the philanthropic moneybags doesn't save the trailer trash from the ghetto), although that submissiveness to the middle taste is too much for my taste - in the end, it's actually something between a fairy tale and a comedy. I understand the high rating, unlike the dull poop called The Help... but similar emotional films just don’t work on me. P.S. Commissioner Cluzet is great...

Through black humour to a touching comedy about an unusual friendship. On paper, it looks like a cheap tear-jerking humanist drama, in the end, however, it is not cheap at all.

The best French film I've ever seen (though admittedly I haven't seen many of them). Comedy and drama in one, each component properly balanced. At the end of the film I was completely satisfied, happy, and moved. I saw the film without knowing what I was getting into, without looking at the ratings on FilmBooster, so I was very surprised to find it so well rated. A nice non-exploitative human drama with all the aspects of humanity that only these two can have. P.S.: I almost peed myself laughing at the beard shaving.

An excellent, superbly dramatic, and well-crafted film about real life among paraplegics and similarly disabled individuals. Philippe belongs to that fraction of the population who can afford to live in a castle with plenty of staff, and in such an environment, paralysis is much more bearable than languishing in an institution with burnt-out staff who make it abundantly clear how much your mere physical existence irritates them, and who keep you perpetually in a state of miserable survival. However, such a truthful film would not offer so much heartwarming humor, interesting situations, and appealing characters. The mutual chemistry between caregiver Driss, a black plebeian from the outskirts, and the aristocratic upper-class Philippe is simply perfect and fully functional. The film not only explores the development of a great friendship but also interestingly tackles the clash of different cultures, social classes, and the eternal conflict between the so-called high elite culture and the popular culture of the masses. The Intouchables excellently fulfills both genres it represents. You laugh at these characters and at the same time, you are afraid for them. There is one thing more I need to criticize - the film's epilogue is unnecessarily literal, and here, I would have left a more or less open ending and room for the viewer's imagination. Overall impression: 90%.

The universe in which the French comedy starring Omar Sy did well is a different universe from the one in which I exist. That is quite alright. This is also an example of how rich the cinematic multiverse is.

There's a lack of insight, so it remains a very briskly shot and brilliantly humorous comedy. The French pulled their punches, fudged the script and avoided the clichéd philosophising in luminous Paris and classic gritty street stories. Intouchables is a fresh ride full of emotions and spontaneous improvisation of the main characters, without pathos and sentimentality. It's not reality, but neither is it beyond reality. A hit about right in the middle, with the heart in the right place.

A new film that: 1) doesn't come from the UK or the US; 2) it still made it into Czech cinemas; 3) it doesn't have a single flaw? That hasn't happened in a long time. I mean... At least since The Artist. So cheers to France again! You just don't see something so beautiful on the big screen. "Do you know where you can find a quadriplegic?" - "I don't know." - "Where you left him."

There’s no doubt this is a beautiful story that can make you fly, but perhaps (though the comparison is very exaggerated) compared to the similarly will-inducing Shawshank, it gets old fast and the initial enthusiasm wears thin. I still enjoy watching it more than most American comedies of the last few years, but I'd look elsewhere for undying cult-status.

I have to admit that I kept The Intouchables locked away in my "drawer" for a really long time, but I would like to slap myself right now for depriving myself of such a unique film, the kind that isn't made every year. On the one hand, there is tragedy, especially given Phillippe's health and Driss' social background. But all that drama is successfully countered with clever humour and plenty of moments that really warm the heart. The film sees the two worlds (characters) confront each other, with a memorable harmony in the end. In short, a very sweet, funny, but also sad film that holds firmly at the top among today's flood of emotionally blackmailing films.

I know that there will be those who will say that it is actually a pathetic story that only stands on the fact that one of the characters is disabled and can only move their head, but I cannot help it, this is simply a story that touched my heart. The main characters are quadriplegic Philippe and his caretaker Driss. At first glance, they are a pair that logically should not go together. Philippe is rich but paralyzed, requiring permanent care. Driss, on the other hand, is a young man who has just gotten out of prison, he is straightforward, says what he thinks, slightly unreliable, and above all, from a poor neighborhood. People like him usually don't fit with the wealthy. But it is precisely with his straightforwardness and behavior that Driss wins over his new employer, turning his life upside down. Driss wins over everyone and also wins over the viewers, just like this movie does. It is a smart, touching comedy that relies on the interaction of the two main characters, as well as Driss with other people. It works. It doesn't matter that it is based on a true story. I don't judge it as such. "The Intouchables" would be a great film even if it were made as an original story. The French once again prove that they are capable of creating something that can overcome national boundaries and captivate the whole world. It's a good thing, French cinema has a strong tradition and it needs to be rekindled. It's working in horror, and now apparently in other genres as well.
