This is a fantastic little movie. A really really difficult subject and yet delivered with humour, empathy and realism. I shed many a tear and enjoyed many laughs.
A triumph of spirit. Also a very real trip into lives that I otherwise would know nothing about.
I really enjoyed this movie. The humanity in it is amazing! The actors are all fantastic and the script is superb.
One of the best movies I have seen for a while!

What a movie
When you go to the cinema and you enter to see a french movie, you know that there's a 99.9% of probability for it to be one hell of a movie. And 'Patients' is.
It is full of funny and sad moments that will make you smile, laugh out loud and probably a tear (or some tears) will start coming out of your eyes. The acting and the dialogues are just powerful and moving, and everything in it made me feel comforted and motivated to move on.
10/10 A great movie that has to be seen not only by film lovers, but by everyone especially for the ones who are passing through a crisis and don't know how to deal with their personal issues that don't let them move on. This film is written for them. And for all of us.
Thanks for reading!
A piece of art
"Patients" is one of these movies that will change your life and transport you far far away. It would be a mistake to not give a chance to an experience like that. The story is touching and beautiful, the tone is rough but funny as well. Acting is simply amazing and incredibly natural. The photography is sublime (some parts are speechless between the intense music and the pictures)...well the list of qualities could be very long.
This movie is full of intelligent humanity marked with respect and positive building. To say that I loved that movie is a weak word, it has been a real crush. Go for it, definitely.
