The film tells the story of two friends who want to disappear from life. While their country Belgium is falling apart, two lost souls cling to each other.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Bakker and Koevorden have made a sleek and captivating documentary, and the rhythm of Bob and Marcel’s interaction and the pain in which they continue to just go on, is shot with distinctive style and makes for an impressive film.
Slant Magazine by Clayton Dillard
The entirety of the film seems increasingly constructed around ill-begotten attempts at dark humor.
The New York Times by Glenn Kenny
Ne Me Quitte Pas...is soberingly adept at portraying the tedium of drunken life. Whether it actually avoids emulating said tedium depends on how engaging you find its two stooges. I was sympathetic without being wholly charmed.
Sabine Lubbe Bakker and Niels van Koevorden's documentary Ne Me Quitte Pas is a grimly funny deep dive into sustained alcoholism with a classical three-act structure.
Lulu is seductive, beautiful, and most of all, deadly.
