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:
It’s tourist time at a ski resort and also boom time for Simon, a young thief who lives at the bottom of the mountain with his elder sister Louise. Louise is a reluctant worker and doesn’t hesitate to dig into Simon’s earnings to indulge in clothes, cigarettes and booze. It is a brittle relationship with Simon at his young age having donned the role of provider while Louise convinces herself that it’s all good by occasionally telling him to keep the risks low. Midway into the movie, a deeper secret is revealed which puts into perspective their relationship.
Simon only rarely reveals his loneliness and for the most part acts older than his age. He is focused on earning money and doesn’t seem to indulge in any other activities with kids his age. In fact, despite being a specialist in skis, he hasn’t even learned to ski. This has its advantages though as he rarely loses his nerve while bargaining with older customers and is comfortable negotiating deals with some of them.
Favourite Scenes (Massive Spoilers):
1. Louise is a reluctant (very young) mother and never seemed socially or biologically ready for motherhood. There are moments when it is clear she cares for Simon but the fact that she is still young and hopeful of finding love and a boyfriend forces her to push Simon away. She keeps running away only to return, usually when she is broke and out of money and so Simon appears to be convinced that the only way to keep Louise with him is by literally paying her for her company. There is no scene that conveys this better than when Simon, following a huge fight with Louise, offers to pay her to allow him to lie in bed with her – a basic thing most kids get to do for free.
2. On one occasion when Louise is away with a new boyfriend, Simon is taken in by an English lady at the resort with her kids and sidles up to her, even offering to pay for lunch. That scene and the one later when she discovers his lies and theft are quite telling. For one, she seems quite a stuck up and self-righteous lady who can’t seem to look beyond the silly lies told by a kid when all he’s doing is pleading with her for small acts of kindness and love. I’m a little unsure about the theft – did he do it out of spite after being rejected by her or is it his habitual nature that would have kicked in anyway? What do you think? Whatever the facts, her cold dismissal of the two only reinforces for Simon how much of an outsider he is at the resort.
L’orologio glielo avrebbe rubato in ogni caso essendo ormai un ladro abitudinario e recidivo. Piuttosto sarebbe stato grandioso se si fossero spaccati la testa a selciate durante il litigio.
Faccio fatica ad empatizzare con il ragazzino forse perché nella mia famiglia, pur essendo stati orfani fin da piccoli, si é andati a lavorare presto anche minorenni.
It’s a sad story about being perplexed with situations that may be within and without of control of the two protagonists. It’s a pretty good film but it would not be a film I would seek out to view. There are obviously people that would give this film 1 star and say they hated it or 5 stars and say they loved it and everything in between because everyone is different in their perceptions of meaningfulness. It’s deep I suppose. I’m going to go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars and let me tell you why.
A,) I did feel empathy for Simon and Louise’s plight, especially Simon – Louise is a shit mom for sure, and
B.) Gillian Anderson is just knock out beautiful.
This is a unique addition to EUM. As hot as Lea Seydoux is, in this film, that gets superseded by being a shit human. The entire story was pretty engaging. I give the young boy credit – up against impossible odds, he has managed to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.
Looks like MoeFo took this one too seriously lmfao. Dumbass.
Solid movie 8/10
This one time I’ll have to tell the retard who is providing the synopsis that they’re a fucking stupid cunt. You’re dismayed that the woman who was extremely nice AND TRUSTING of this little piece of SHIT… who stole from her and lied to her – seemed to be uppity??? What fucking planet did you come from?? As soon as this flic started I HATED that little POS thief scumbag and wanted him to get run over by a train and ripped to shreds. There is NO honor among thieves. My dad taught my brother and I that when we were young children. Total disregard for others = zero humility – which leads to being capable of ANYTHING; like selling your own mother, pushing someone off a building, whatever – if you benefit. I was hoping toward the end when they were actually fighting in the dirt.. that they both struck each other in the head with a rock at the same time and they both died. Yep; the POS mother helped to create the POS boy, but the story showed us that he was wise for his years, enough to be able to accomplish things that were incredible…y BAD. So he also was capable of things which adults can DECIDE = life is always about CHOICES. FUCK these POS scumbags. They would make great politicians (also the scum of the earth today). That makes 2 movies in a row (after watching Bog of Beasts) that were TERRIBLE with no… Read more »
