France is hit by acid rain and a divorced couple with their teenage daughter, try to survive like the rest. The cause of the acid rain is not the main focus, the survival isn't either for the teen girl. As the couple try to overcome their differences and work towards their common goal of saving their daughter, what circumstances they go through as the acid rain worsens, forms rest of the story. The moment you let a horse die, it was clear the characters were unsympathetic and totally lacked any sort of survival skills but to keep running. As much as the father and mother wanted to save their daughter, their character arc of miserable ex-couple, really kills any sort of hope. Then, there is the annoying daughter whose only job is to cry throughout and I simply didn't care for her survival instantly. Sadly, acid rain scenes aren't the main focus either to showcase the destruction, largely due to budget restrictions but the writing is enormously hopeless giving no reason to root for any character. The mother-son duo in the third act are straight up depressing. Just the bunch of characters who have totally given up and yet weaving a survival story around them, made no sense. The film dragged on for it's entire runtime and it was totally not worth sitting through it or even claim that I survived it.

After LA NUEE and a short movie also called ACIDE, this French film maker offers the best hopes for the future. I only hope that he won't proceed in stupid comedies. When it was released in movie theaters, I counfounded it with LE REGNE ANIMAL, another French film also more or less in the same kind of stories. Ecological, science fiction.... A genre exploitation French film, but with a big budget. Yes, this director is a good chance for the movie industry to AT LAST offer the audiences something really solid. I only regret the last minutes. I guessed something else. More dramatic, more tragic. His short film ACIDE, back in 2018, was really downbeat, depressing. This longer version should have been the same. Period.

I think daughter was added to create problem in movie. See goes somewhere and ask for help from which she runs.. so funny.. Conceptual wise perfect. Acting wise waste of lot of money. Lot of minor issues in direction.. if you see this.. which I never recommend anyone to do so.. This is first time in my life. I am taking this much time and effort to review something on IMDb because I don't want anyone to waste their time. If you like scifi.. please ignore this movie. I installed this app first time and first review..it's that much frustrating for me that I am doing this and had too do this.

I don't understand how this script got screwed up. This level of acidic rain would have destroyed cellular equipment, as well as the tires on the cars. But why is the tap water contaminated? There's no scientific rationale behind these flaws. Other than that, the plot and general flow of the story is good. The premise is unbelievable because this concentration of acid rain wouldn't just suddenly appear. It would occur gradually. When I come up with story ideas like this, I would quickly reach the realization that the premise is so flawed, it's not worth the time continuing. I'm dumbstruck that others just plow ahead without a care. Why can't they keep thinking up ideas until there's one that holds water?

In the middle of a heat wave, an ominous cloud appears and with it, a lethal acid rain. A separated family: father (Guillaume Canet) , mother (Patience Munchenbach) and daughter (Laeitita Dosch) will have to come together to getaway this plague ravaging the world. An ominous cloud is slowly moving inland, forcing the population to run away. As the cloud keeps on moving forward inescapably, panic strikes. The cloud is acid !. After his acclaimed and famous first film, 'The Cloud' , nominated for the César and Lumiere awards for best first film in 2022, director Just Philippot releases this impactful thriller nominated for best film at the 2023 Sitges Festival. The film is based on Philippot's short film of the same name released in 2018. In 'Acide' , filmmaker Philippot takes up the criticism against climate change and its consequences that began with 'The cloud', putting into focus the story of a fractured family that must survive a world plunged into chaos, panic and destruction. A passable french film that translates of intelligent manner the emotions, reactions, tension and pieces so well known from works about same theme, here almost everything was done on set, with minimal CGI work needed. The cinematography, the performance, music, the use of light, the make up , the contryside scenes are just acceptable. The movie depicts the effort of the parents to save their daughter. As well as the run, the sacrifice of the father, the reactions of others, the necessity of self conservation, containing inspired details, and some splendid crafted scenes. The interpretations are decent and the pace of the film keeps things moving over any small quibbles in the detail. The cast includes to Guillaume Canet (the beach), and Laetiitia Dosch (nominated for the César in 2018 for best new actress for Montparnasse Bienvenue). The film was professionally directed by Just Philippot, though results to slow and a small boring part, along with too many night scenes in which you can barely see anything. Philippot previously directed ¨The Cloud (La nuée) ¨, ¨4 histoires fantastiques¨and shorts as: Acid¨,¨Dig Down Deep¨ and ¨Ses Souffles¨. ¨Acide¨ got various prizes and nominations, such as: Sitges Catalonian International Film Festival 2023 Nominated Official Fantàstic Competition Best Motion Picture Just Philippot. César Awards, France 2024 Nominated César Best Visual Effects (Meilleurs effets visuels) Thomas Duval. Fant, Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival nominated Guillaume Canet, Patience Munchenbach, and Laetitia Dosch in Lluvia ácida (2023) 2024 Nominado Jury Prize.

I was so excited to watch this suspense movie. I approach it like watching bird box, and a quiet place. Only the character could not think ahead 5 minute. Every decision that they make was either by being selfish or taken while panicking. Why having the urge to go elsewhere when they can just wait it out. Every bad situation was so repeated. Selfish act, girl yelling, then going somewhere panicking. Not one smart decision out of the that make the viewer cheer for the character. Even if we accept the ridiculousness of the super acid rain the character only comprehend the bare minimum and never tried to make a smart decision. Like waiting out the rain in the tunnel, waiting out the rain under the bridge. Even the last rain. Trying to run away from the rain? Wtf just to end up in some farmland stuck? They could had waited it out in the car driving or not same amount of rain. I recommend a bit but don't expect yourself to cheer for the success of the character.
