The Life Ahead

POSITIVES…

  • It’s got my attention for having a curious enough premise, with an unlikely protagonist.

  • Kudos to Ibrahima Gueye for giving us a lot of range playing the character of Momo, who is that unlikely lead for this story.

  • Sophia Loren is still great at commanding the screen as Madame Rosa.

  • The connections that Momo makes with several of the supporting cast is what makes this film interesting to watch. Especially the one he makes with Madame Rosa.

  • While the plot progression is exactly unexpected, I appreciated the direction it went.

  • As a drama with fascinating topics meshed into this one story, there were scenes that were quite touching and emotional.

  • That Lioness.

NEGATIVES…

  • The premise isn't exactly going to grab everybody's attention.

  • Not exactly a fast moving film.

  • Some predictable plot turns that some might not find excusable.
