review
Outfits leaves a scenario tagged by a trio of authors (Roman Compingt, Houda Benyamina and Malik Rumeau), those funny (young) ladies unleash their instincts actresses like hungry pitbulls on dialogues bloody well they were given. What a treat ! Moreover, “you got the clit,” a replica of the film, has already become cult. Could not think of movies like “Band Girls’ Celine Sciamma or even” Evasion “by Abdellatif Kechiche, but for his first film, Houda Benyamina requires originality in the way we transmit the rage (on) his heroines live without other lawless than material success. The money is chic.
A full these working girls dream of clichetons bling bling, the film opposes an artistic and sentimental reverse shot through the choreography of a young dancer. Hidden in the dark heights of the portcullis of a theater, Dounia, the beautiful savage beast watches the scene with fierce jolts. Swinging between deal and romance, this modern tragedy across the screen like a tightrope in permanent imbalance. Suffice to say that there is no net above the concrete slab. But vertigo, it is the spectators who have it. And that is the great success of the film.
