Watch Francine Movie Online No Survey Academy Award winner Melissa Leo gives a fierce and restrained performance as Francine, a woman struggling to find her place in a downtrodden lakeside town after leaving behind a life in prison. Taking a series of jobs working with animals, Francine turns away others and instead seeks intimacy in the most unlikely of places. Gritty, elliptical, and voyeuristic, Francine is a portrait of a near-silent misfit and her fragile first steps in an unfamiliar world. -- (C) Official Site Unrated Release Date Francine Sep 12, 2012 Limited

Review For Francine
While it's audacious on the part of the filmmakers (and of Leo) to keep Francine at arm's length from us, it makes the film a frustrating experience. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times Francine portrays a woman on the socioeconomic margins and the sort of fiscal cliff that personalizes the phrase no politician can avoid these days. Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune Brian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky, documentary makers trying their hand at drama, inspire a certain voyeuristic fascination toward the character but rarely sympathy. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Melissa Leo plays her without inflection, giving us no instructions about what our opinion should be. It is a brave performance, an act of empathy with a sad woman. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times "Francine" is a small, detailed character study that never evolves into anything more. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times What with the unexciting hand-held camerawork, and the off-putting script and lead performance, "Francine" remains as frustrating as its inscrutable title character. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post Caught up in its own self-satisfied metaphor, its blank canvas and broadly sketched melancholic tones an empty vessel for those who would automatically turn the personal into the political. Brent Simon-Shockya.com Petered out the perhaps promise of a psychological study or horror flick, halfway through 'Francine' nothing is left. Donald J. Levit-ReelTalk Movie Reviews Leo provides a seasoned, lived-in naturalism that is as rarely displayed on screen as it is potent. Will McCord-Paste Magazine Numbing, uninvolving portrait of an ex-con as an animal-loving zombie. David Noh-Film Journal International Francine is so minimalist that it has to rely almost entirely on Leo for solidity, and it would be a far stronger film if it supported and framed her more effectively. Tasha Robinson-AV Club In a character study of an ex-con who gives her heart and mind to animals rather than people, Melissa Leo's risky performance is ultimately framed with a disappointing, distanced pity. Bill Weber-Slant Magazine Francine marks the start of a promising career for the filmmakers, more than anything else demonstrating their eye for small moments. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE As a 74-minute snapshot of an American at the low end of the struggling 99%, it speaks far more eloquently than poverty statistics. David D'Arcy-Screen International
