been sceptical about Cantona’s acting ability, have been
praising his latest role in the film L'Outremangeur (The
Over Eater).
Dominque Borde in Le Figaro wrote:
"He gets inside the skin of a deeply lonely man and manages
to make him touching, even profoundly moving."
And Le Matin's critique said:
"Cantona brings credibility to this obese character who
conceals a big heart behind a monster's façade. It was a
daring challenge, but the former sportsman finally earns his
stripes as an actor."
