1 hr 37 min – In French with English subtitles - Not Rated. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Film at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, this drama by the Dardennes brothers was called “a quietly rapturous film about love and redemption” by Manohla Dargis of the N.Y. Times. When the father of 11-year-old Cyril abandons him, Cyril obsessively clings to his bicycle - placing his last bit of hope in this symbol of their relationship. Almost by accident, he becomes the ward of a kind hairdresser, who seems surprised to find herself so determined to help him. With his wild, unpredictable behavior and his disastrous search for father figures, Cyril risks losing her - though she refuses to give up without a fight. “The real reason to see The Kid with a Bike is that it offers something changelessly rare: a credible portrait of goodness.” –Anthony Lane, The New Yorker. “A. Highest Rating! No one charts the wilds of childhood more precisely than the Dardennes.” –Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly.
