Broers Frank en Jo runnen samen café Belgica. En dat gaat ze goed af, want wat begon als een simpele bruine kroeg is opeens dé hotspot van het nachtleven. Een zelfverklaard oord van verderf, waar de rock-'n-roll van de bezwete muren spat. The sky lijkt the limit, maar naarmate het succes toeneemt, groeien de broers steeds verder uit elkaar. (September Film)

51st KVIFF - it could be radically shortened, which would have helped its cause. The first half, in particular, feels dense at times, but things start to get interesting with the first conflict and the impression improves towards the end.

In some things overly schematic and, despite the solid sound mental wax, it doesn't keep its foot on the gas for the whole runtime, but the relationship and character drawing of the two central characters are excellent, and in addition to screaming passages, Van Groeningen is also able to handle quieter moments. Overall a nice hangover. #kviff2016

Recently, there's been another French, although in this case, more Belgian film, focusing on relatively young people, trying to capture a certain atmosphere and indeed a period. And it succeeds in doing so, much like the film Something in the Air, but I simply can't get interested in the characters, nor does the story grab me.
