Format:DVD
Dans ce long métrage, François Ozon démontre encore une fois combien son style est éclectique et touche-à-tout. En effet, dans cette adapation libre d'une nouvelle, "Moth" de l'écrivaine Rose Tremain, Ozon nous raconte une fable qui aurait tout bien pu se dérouler au Moyen-âge ou à la Renaissance, mais qui se déroule et à très bon choix dans la ville d'Amiens au XXIème siècle.

Quand deux personnes se rencontrent et ont un enfant, c'est leur quotidien qui se retrouve chamboulé quand l'enfant développe un don miraculeux, attirant la convoitise (mal intentionnné ou non) de certaines personnes, mais aussi une dimension poétique et symbolique dans un quotidien qui n'est pas toujours des plus faciles quand on n'a que peu d'argent.

Du côté des acteurs, chacun et chacune donne un souffle et une dimension humaine très réaliste à leurs personnages. Surtout Alexandra Lamy qui, connue surtout pour la version française "Un gars, Une fille", démontre un jeu dramatique crédible et bouleversant. Même chose pour Sergi Lopez, Mélusine Mayance et Arthur Peyret, impeccables dans leur jeu d'acteur.

Quant aux effets visuels, considérant les nombreux plans difficiles en raison de la caméra qui bouge tout le temps, je trouve admirable comment les artistes des studios BUF sont parvenus à bien intégrer les effets visuels exigés sur le personnage de Ricky et à rendre son don particulierement incroyable aux yeux des spectateurs, contrairement à certains films (ex: Van Helsing) dont les effets visuels sont si mal intégrés qu'ils surchargent des plans et vont jusqu'à ruiner le récit.

Bref, Ricky est un film bouleversant dans lequel, tout comme Breaking the Waves, le miracle se mèle à une réalité difficile.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this movie! April 18 2011
By Night - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I watched this on Netflix streaming. I watch many foreign films so having subtitles is no biggie. This baby is adorable, the storyline is funny, dark, and at times sad.
However I believe this child is truly divine, and no human can have him. He saves his Mother's life eventually, and he is charming, beautiful, delightful, and it seems he's truly having a blast with what he appears to do in the movie. I thought the special effects were fantastic, and beautiful. I am buying this movie to add to my many movie gems.

I hardly ever send in a movie review, this one is worth it. I adored this little guy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bravo Ozon!!!! May 2 2011
By tak1 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I give it up to Francois Ozon for making a film that takes a chance. At first I had no idea what the movie was really about. All I was able to gather from trailers and such was that it was about a special baby... a very special baby.

The movie is delightful. I feel the ending was a little unexplained but perhaps that was the point!? Babies come into our lives for different reasons. I would say some save our lives and others help us realize things we'd never thought possible before. Perhaps I'm diving too deep into this but the ending I feel is left open to interpretation.

Francois Ozon is a great filmmaker and we're lucky to have him working on projects that are personal to him but yet universal enough to keep us intrigued.

Personal favorites are Swimming Pool, Time To Leave, Angel-despite being a little too melodramatic and now Ricky.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable movie...for the adults in your family. April 8 2011
By F. Davie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
The description of the movie pretty much sums it up. It's in French with English subtitles. It was very enjoyable, but while most of it would be OK for kids to watch some of the subject matter is just for the adults.
