    Short review 4 min read English The Intouchables

    The Intouchables (2011) Review: Friendship Without Pity

    The Intouchables is the French comedy-drama about a paralysed aristocrat and his irreverent carer, a joyous odd-couple friendship powered by Omar Sy and François Cluzet.

    Yes, wholeheartedly. It is a warm, very funny crowd-pleaser that almost anyone can enjoy, and an ideal introduction to French cinema for subtitle-shy viewers.
