"Un Prophète" 2009 ★★★★

In a world where the term 'masterpiece' is bandied about with the carelessness of confetti at a wedding, "A Prophet" is a film that truly deserves the moniker. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars, docking a star for making me feel too much, a sensation I generally reserve for my morning espresso.
