A gangster movie done differently and done well! The main character is a teenage girl and the main motif is her relationship with her father, the head of a mafia crew. In a quiet rural setting, the situation seen from her perspective involves a threat to the crew and thus to the only family that she has. There is a sorrowful undertone of the impending inevitable outcome in parallel with getting to know the characters who, like anyone else, love those closest to them in spite of their own criminality. The Kingdom punches above its weight in the sunny Corsican atmosphere. The fate of a legacy that cannot be avoided. [Cannes FF]
