'The Kid with a Bike'. A superb young lead performance by Thomas Doret, difficult and frustrating at times, but a beautifully constructed, very real drama.Cyril Catoul is a kid whose absolute tenacity you can't help but admire, a character you completely sympathise with, and then the frustration kicks in, as he goes out of his way to push away a woman showing nothing but warmth and love, while holding onto the hope of his father and all that means.You certainly go on a journey with him as his character, and he's a wonderfully complex one at that. The ending, with Cyril's quiet acceptance at the retaliation of the boy he struck, shows maturity well beyond his years. An acknowledgment of the ups and downs of life, and consequences of his actions.What the hell was up with the music signalling each of the four acts though? the film functioned fine without music the rest of the way through, and it was incredibly distracting, and added no meaning, while feeling cheap, and tacked on.
