Before watching La Famille Bélier I thought I was going to have a couple good laughs because François Damiens plays in it and his sketches as François L'Embrouille on Youtube always make me laugh. But the quite opposite happened, him being deaf and mute in a family of deaf and mute is not the ideal scenario for laughing. But there are some funny moments. What is for sure is that La Famille Bélier is a roller-coaster of emotions. I'm not too shy to admit I had some tears rolling at one point, from happiness or sadness I don't know. The only thing I know is that I liked the movie even though it's not necessary the kind of movie I would go for normally. The story is pretty simple but effective. The cast is well chosen with some excellent acting. Basically it's a good story, a feelgood movie, and sometimes we need that.
