A major problem with the criminal justice systems in assorted countries - including the United States - is that they emphasize punishment over rehabilitation; one might say that these are criminal injustice systems. I don't know how it works in France, but Jeanne Herry's "Je verrai toujours vos visages" ("All Your Faces" in English) offers a possibility: restorative justice. This regimen features discussions between inmates and their victims.

It's not always a smooth process, as there's plenty of tension between people (especially due to the variety of races). Nonetheless, there's the chance of forgiveness and increased understanding of the causes of anything defined as crime. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's worth seeing. I don't know if it's available on any streaming service, so you might have to check a neighborhood video store.

The cast includes Miou-Miou and Adèle Exarchopoulos (who more recently voiced Ennui in "Inside Out 2").

It seems exactly like the type of films that I cannot remain indifferent to. So realistic and such a compelling story. It is exactly what I have expected from this movie to be. An internal and uncontrolled storm that doesn't let its viewers to stay calm.

The thoughts are running to so many directions and the work of the director: Jeanne Herry, which has made the great "Pupille" is just so accurate, that you sometimes feel that you are in the same room with the same people that are opening themselves to strangers, that are at a different spot.

The film is talking about a special program that is bringing crime victims and criminals that made the same crime (or even the crime itself) together. It is a healing process that requires both sides to be open minded and try to tolerant to towards the other side.

The movie is talking about traumas that not sure anyone, that hasn't suffered those types of "Minor" traumatizing experiences will understand. It is taking people from a wide range and dives into each one of them and into its traumatic experience and lesson learning, that takes place while they speak.

It is an experience like no other, for the movie industry and a great achievement in directing and acting. Takes each and every one of the viewers from his safe spot and confronts with reality and still has a lot of hope and redemption in it. Very special film and experience that not every viewer can withstand, but for movies lovers, it is a must.

Authentic. It is the first word that comes to my mind after watching this French film. Victims and criminals meet in mediation with the aim of somehow coming to terms with painful experiences and moving on. So simple, but obviously very difficult.

The film is very good at conveying all the layers that exist in both the victims and the aggressors. It feels like a mixture of documentary and drama, but above all this film is insightful and strong in its narrative. In any case, what is striking is how important communication is. To meet, to tell, to look each other in the eye. Bearing in mind that 80 percent of offenders in prison commit new crimes (a fact in my home country), the film shows another and important angle of focus on changing behaviour. For the victims, this form of mediation means a high price, re-traumatisation and an experience of losing the little control they at least feel they have. But the way also gives them hope for change.

The film does not give any conclusion as to whether this is the right way to focus on crime, but it at least tells us that there are opportunities to move forward.

Very good character actors provide an intensity and nerve that is often missing in films today. Without them, this film's message would not have been as powerful as it is here.

The film has many strong moments, and you will certainly not sit back unmoved after watching it.
