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.
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?
dude u are stupid dumb af.
He did not fuck her, he kept her hostage, on a fucking weird hope, that she fall in love with him.
BTW. it is based on true events, but that guy fucked that teenager in real
U DUMB IDIOT
Not watched this film but that plot sounds similar to ..The Collector.. by John Fowles. A good book made into a reasonably good film for its time.
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.
lol GTFO. You won’t be missed.
Don’t let the door hit you on the ass, faggot.
stfu small dick homophobe
Don’t worry about the size of my junk, poofter. It gets the job done just fine, and NOT on the sexually dysfunctional nancy-bois. So quit hitting on me.
now that doesn’t even make sense,” sexually dysfunctional” of course it’s a aussie saying it.
It means you’re sexually screwed up in the head, kid. Broken. Probably molested by your dad or something and now you’ll be forever searching to make the fatherly connection again. Get it now, you ignorant, annoying little dolt?
God that was funny.
Piss off back to your shithole aussie, you maggot your country is shit.
could have been so so much more than what it was. How disapointing!!!!!!
You can’t even fucking spell
Oh… That’s… that’s a real thought provoking comment there, joeblow (lolz)… for a 5 year old.
Jesus, I wish they’d get these little shits back in school already.
You DO know you can access online Thesaurus to check your spelling, right? Maybe I slip up and misspell a word now and then but it seems to be standard for you.
the most fucked up thing about movies like this is knowing that there are people that actually went through it.
this movie had potential but it fails and miserably. The Low IQ hanging fruit giving it high praise is a real let down
What an intellectual.
Why is it that the people who write “low IQ”, typically don’t use punctuation?
He didn’t even include a ‘-‘ in “let-down.” Cheese and rice, what a loser.
Not to mention he began the first sentence with a lower case “t” in this, the first word.
In the case of Joe who blows, it means Idiot Quotient.
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.
you are nuts if you think this movie is good. Low IQ
You’re living proof of the saying – the stupider you are, the more your confidence in your stupidity lmao.
GTFO. Next time, click on the gore section and stick to that you fucking donkey.
