greg s 5d I thought it was a brilliant telling of Camus story, but with a sensuality I had not considered. See more Simon 5d Beautifully filmed. Excellent acting. And, importantly, faithful to the book. See more Melissa 6d Hypnotic retelling of Camus novella. See more Michael Apr 4 Great retells by of Camus’s novel. Acting was superb and I am a huge Ozon fan. See more Manan J @RT64452712 17h Calm on the surface. Quietly unsettling underneath. François Ozon doesn’t rush—and The Stranger benefits from that patience. It’s controlled, observant, and built on tension that doesn’t need to announce itself. The film lets silence do most of the work, and somehow, that’s where it hits the hardest. What stands out is the restraint. Nothing feels overplayed. The narrative unfolds slowly, almost cautiously, trusting the audience to stay with it rather than chasing attention. But that same restraint can feel limiting. At times, it holds back just enough to stop it from becoming truly unforgettable. Final Verdict: Subtle, sharp, and just unsettling enough to linger. Cinema wins. Mediocrity loses. See more Moody C @MoodyC Apr 8 Nothing happens till 2nd hr & only got interesting during last half hr court trial. Protagonist’s is indifferent to everything & so lives a somewat boring life as 1st hr shows hence quite boring viewing for audience as well. His talk with priest is quite interesting & thought provoking. It’s a good movie but cud be made shorter with better editing. I saw a dude walk out right before murder scene lol oh well, that’s when it started to pick up. For those wondering purpose of life, you’re not alone! See more Read all reviews
