Movie Reviews of Her Name Is Sabine
Movie Review: Wonderful! A must see!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love foreign films and documentaries and this film is why. Sandrine just puts the camera on her sister Sabine and lets it speak for itself. Mixed in are the enchanting home movies from Sabine's youth. As a good documentary should do Sandrine doesn't try to shape the film into anything other than what it is. Fortunately things were improving towards the end of the film, I don't know if I could have handled it if they were not. See this film, you will not regret it!
Movie Review: Great Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
What is most remarkable about this movie is the contrast between the earlier footage of Sabine's youth and the later footage of her after being institutionalized and highly medicated. It seems that independent integrated living for the disabled is as much a quandary in France as here. One moment I liked is when the mother of one of Sabine's fellow residents describes the effects of taking her son's medication by accident. There's also what struck me as a sort of unusual definition of autism by one of Sabine's caseworkers. But what is most unforgettable and makes this film a must see is a scene where Sabine herself is shown the film of her earlier life. Movie Review: A sister's loving account of her autistic sister
Summary: 5 Stars
Have to "confess"
that I went to the screening of this documentary
because of a long appreciation of Sandrine Bonnaire's unique presense as an actress/
How to describe her? Earthy, delicate , soulful/ akin to a german shepherd perhaps ...
Here is a film she made devoted to her sister, Sabine
Just exquisite & transcends catagories /
It is full of humor and empathy and pathos/
Bravo! Here is a sampling of humanity in its more compassionate dimension all around ..
See this.
This piece lends values of caregiving, sisterhood , all fleshed out & visceral, and in the moment,
Exuberant and joyous , too by the way .. see this!
