Ricky 2009

Ricky (2009)    Single mom Katie is a factory worker raising her seven year old daughter Lisa.  Katie meets Paco who is a new worker from Spain at the French factory.  Together they have a son, Lisa wants him to be named Ricky.  He cries seemingly all the time and once when Paco has him for the day, it looks he has a large red bruise on his back.  Paco leaves after Katie accuses him of hurting Ricky but they soon discover things are not at all as they seem.
    Life is really tough for Katie, it's not very easy for Lisa either.  Everything seems to get better with Paco helping but then that doesn't work out too.  This is enjoyable except I did not like the ending.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

89 min, Sci-Fi directed by Francois Ozon with Alexandra Lamy, Sergi Lopez, Melusine Mayance, Arthur Peyret, Andre Wilms, Jean-Claude Bolle-Reddat, Hakim Romatif.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.0 out of 10, 60% critic 36 % audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
