Review of Five

Five (I) (2016)
2/10
When mediocrity is a way of living
23 January 2021
Five long-time friends decide to live in shared accommodations in a wealthy district of Paris. Even if the directing and editing seem quite good with nice images, the script is based on total vacuity with lack of ethics and mere stereotypes. The black guy comes down to his sexual performance and nicely follows his friends without talking too much. The girl has the deep broken voice of someone with lots of certainty. Also, the young wealthy boy has an absent father rich to millions, studies in theaters and can afford everything at the beginning. Since they are young folks in Paris, everything is allowed as long as they have fun no matter for ethics and others. Everything about academics sport, spirituality, knowledges and activities is skipped, as it is obviously not interesting. It could have been an apology to friendship but even that seem fake and not so solid between them. Globally, this movie is on young middle-class people who are lost in their narrow-minded mediocrity
