Ok the ending was connected to the title but it could play out so much better than that. Whoever directed this movie, please do NOT direct any more movies. I never leave reviews here but this movie just motivated me to leave one.

Awful ending
Lonely is the brave
At the beginning of the film, you see the lead character, a 38 years old tennis man, former great champion, watching a movie with his wife. An American movie which illustrates his own story, a kind of metaphor. This film is LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, starring Kirk Douglas, and telling the story of an old cowboy trying to survive in the modern world which doesn't accept him anymore. See what I mean, where I drive at? He and his wife watch on TV the scene when Kirk Douglas nearly dies and hears the shot of his horse, his old pal, being killed after an accident. I love this metaphor, related to the main lead character of the movie. If you are fond of tennis, or even not, only fond of films speaking of sport, as SLALOM was a few months before and talking about ski, you will like this feature, where Alex Lutz is totally perfect for the role. The previous French film speaking of tennis thatI remind was TERRE BATTUE, back in 2014, about a father, trainer of his young son, so not from the same angle. Terrific finale, awesome directing and camera work, tense, sharp as a razor blade, even if you don't know nothing about tennis.
