a magnificent role on an unpopular subject

'Pieds Nus' (= French for 'naked feet') stars Ludivine Sagnier in her magnificent role of a young mentally defected woman.

This statement really captures the backbone of 'Pieds Nus'. Its second star, Diane Kruger, also shines as Ludivine's caring sister.

I suppose not everyone will be attracted to this film, for psychiatry is not a popular subject. Indeed, I feel one should already be happy if 'Pieds Nus' helps to create some understanding about mental illnesses. And some admiration for those who care for such patients as well.

Sagnier and Kruger both point this out most convincingly. Supported by a team of other good actors, by a plot that never goes dull, all embedded in a fine shooting.
