‘Rust and Bone’ Review
We've seen the "bravely facing disability" actor's showpiece film before. And we've seen the character-driven, slice-of-life drama with a French vagabond who is a jerk but still sympathetic. But have we seen them together? No! And that's why 'Rust & Bone,' the latest from director Jacques Audiard ('Un Prophete,' 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped,') is bound to end up a word-of-mouth favorite.
It is, indeed, a juicy film but I think that if you scratch past the surface you'll find that, really, it's just pure soap opera that doesn't add up to that much.
