    Admirable message, underwhelming movie. Always good to see a film tackle real life issues and portray positivity within them, 'Michel-le-s' undoubtedly has its heart in the right place and means only the best. However, as a film, it's not any good unfortunately. Some scenes in particular are too on the nose, as the characters practically preach to the viewer directly. Again, pure intentions but subtlety is very much key - and this has very little. The cast are adequate, namely Serga de Wiltord Bindikou and Alphonse Mafoua. Production-wise it's fine, competently enough put together. I personally would've trimmed down the run time, though I can't say I was ever gagging for the end credits to arrive in fairness. As much as the plot is lacking, it's interesting to see that it's based on a true story in Congo.
