With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and people who love a good family story. Nobody is quite who they seem. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 18 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

After several resounding failures that sent him to prison, Pierre is ordered by his father to join his factory to direct the social service. Tired of the venality of his father and the foolishness of the "little guys", Pierre hires them at the factory...
