'Tori and Lokita' review: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne are imposing names in cinema. But you would be hard pressed to find more humanistic filmmakers.
It’s one of the great ironies of cinema that many — not all, but many — of the most seemingly art house filmmakers make some of the most approachable films.
It’s about 11-year-old Tori and 16-year-old Lokita , two African immigrants living in an unnamed Belgian city. Only Tori has the necessary papers to stay, and immigration authorities are pressing Lokita. We’re plunged directly into her desperate situation, as she pleads to stone-faced bureaucrats that she and Tori and siblings. If proven — a DNA test is threatened — Lokita could stay. But their story isn’t convincing.
