Matt Richards's rating of the film Eat Sleep Die
Matt Richards

A humble tale set within the often invisible immigrant labour force that's equally relevant to the many non-immigrant, poor factory workers and manual labourers the world over. The performances are natural and bang-on, particularly from the lead as a young woman forced to spread her wings for the first time away from a comfortable but dead-end relationship with her father when she loses her job. 3 stars

A beautiful portrait of woman & a sincere film, half documentary, half DARDENNE / Ken LOACH. The Swedish "model" is unenviable. Replace the title by WORK, SMOKE, LIVE. ======== Un beau portrait de femme & un film sincère, mi-documentaire, mi-frères DARDENNE / Ken LOACH. Le "modèle" suédois pffft. Remplace le titre par : TRAVAILLE, FUME, VIS.

FISCHER's rating of the film Eat Sleep Die
FISCHER

Un nécessaire et pertinent cinéma social entre Ken Loach et les frères Dardenne qui expose une situation économique inconvenante profondément absurde et malsaine, dans ce premier long métrage suédois qui donne quelquefois l'impression de faire du surplace mais dont la magistrale dernière séquence des retrouvailles, nous fait oublier quelques rares imperfections d'une réalisatrice débutante à suivre www.cinefiches.com

Michael Harbour's rating of the film Eat Sleep Die
Michael Harbour

Employment and unemployment, immigration, and assimilation in Sweden. Punctures the American fantasy about the easy life on the dole in Europe. Nermina Lukac delivers a great performance.

A bleak film about wage slavery and the fight to survive in a world where you must earn the right to do so.
