FILM ARCHIVES The Kid With a Bike
by Jim Hoberman
Dir. Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne (2011).
The Brothers Dardenne do what only they can with this gritty, stripped-down action meditation on redemption and grace, in which a pinch-faced throwaway kid—single-minded, unlovable, their most remarkable protagonist since Rosetta—struggles to find his place in the world.
