Stan & Ollie

À signaler en ouverture: un plan séquence à la fois ludique et élaboré, en forme d'hommage chaleureux au cinéma hollywoodien d'antan. Du reste, la reconstitution d'époque est dans l'ensemble fort réussie.

'Stan & Ollie" is full of tender moments between the men and their wives, but it saves its loveliest moment for the men. 

This smart showbiz story avoids sentimentality and gets to the heart of a great, difficult partnership.

There are buckets of sweat in Stan & Ollie, an otherwise pretty antiseptic late-career biopic that follows a UK comeback tour of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, well past their prime.

Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly pay tribute to the bond between the legendary screen team Laurel and Hardy.

Again, a movie like this lives or dies by its performances.
