I just watched the film and although not very overwhelmed I'd say I far preferred it to La Promesse. Bruno is morally reprehensible. Everything he does is selfish, and I mean everything. Even turning himself in, he does in my opinion to escape the thugs who intend to collect the additional money he owes them, and to avoid a harsh winter and avoid the trouble of searching for food. I was slightly upset when Sonia cried with him, or even visited him for that matter, but oh well. A good film, no doubt, but at times almost too simplistic and detached for me.
