Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.
If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie
The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Gaelle was kidnapped as an eight-year-old from school and held in captivity by Vincent for almost a decade. Now he’s given her the choice to leave and she makes a run for it.
A Moi Seule is as much about its title – Coming Home – as it is a psychological examination of the effects of years of captivity on the victim and the captor – their interdependence and the fluidity of power and control.
It will also fuck with your morals. By giving Vincent certain principles, the film adds to the confusion the viewer may feel, especially if they approach Vincent from a predefined opinion of who is good or not.
There are also genuine moments of tenderness in the relationship juxtaposed against the harsh reality of captivity, dependence and abuse. Like when Gaelle’s climbs down back into her cell after the fight following her escape-attempt – like an animal returning to its safe cave.
Coming Home is the 2nd film on here after 3096 Days that’s loosely based on the Natascha Kampusch case.
Random Thoughts (Massive spoilers):
One difference between Vincent and Gaelle is in their interpretation of their realities. Gaelle was never resigned to her captivity and was always able to maintain perspective – I’m being held captive and this needn’t be my life. Vincent on the other hand slipped up by believing Gaelle would eventually stay with him of her own volition.
Captivity movies tend to drag. This one is kind of slow and boring. Agathe Bonitzer is cute as hell. Her face looks fabulous in profile. 3 stars.
extraordinarily boring. jeez fc
A very good story, well told. It would seem the only reason Vincent did what he did was out of sheer loneliness and the need for a companion. After that situation, easy to understand why Gaelle would be left with a number of hang ups.
Sounds only coming out one side like the…. should i just bear with it or what? Man no way, just give me some new headphonies
Another perverted stupid movie. So in few words a crazy pedophile kidnaps her fucks hers brains out in his basement and after she gets 18 he says to her ok you are very old now you can leave my house i don’t want to fuck you anymore. Who the hell makes these sick movies, Jesus?
3,096 Days was really good; not sure I’m too interested in another telling of the same story, but your uploads are so appreciated nonetheless.
There are so many technical issues with this movie. The audio mixing is too loud, so the music overpowers everything. There’s no transitions between scene, and the pacing is all over the place. Once you get past that it is enjoyable.
I’d say this is more similar to Jaycee Dugard’s story
Hey admin, Abr here, the youngest of the 4 twin sisters.
Just a perfect choice for EUM, A Moi Seule is a place of despair.
if this is the type of movie EUM is giving praise to and regarding on such a high pedestal, then count me the fuck out.
could have been so so much more than what it was. How disapointing!!!!!!
the most fucked up thing about movies like this is knowing that there are people that actually went through it.
Such a sad movie and yet one of the best on this site. Well done unearthing this gem. It doesn’t even show up on wiki in movie adaptations of the Natascha story. thanks.
