Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Pluskylang Great Film overall

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

alexo-5 The jazzy opening-credits number (a beautiful Blossom Dearie tune) we hear as Felix glides across the screen on a bicycle perfectly sets the tone for this wonderfully clever and creative gay-themed film from France. In so many gay films, the acceptance of homosexuality is the central struggle in the film - or the horrors of the dating scene, the devestation of being HIV positive etc. etc. etc. I really enjoyed the way these issues were handled in this film. Felix is gay and HIV-positive - that is established from the beginning - and the rest of the film is spent getting to know this man as he gets to know the people on his path to visit his estranged father.Issues of race, age, monogamy, relationships, family, marriage, sexuality, homosexuality and HIV are presented in such a natural way that they do not become "issues" as in most other gay films, but only various parts of Felix's experiences that make life interesting. The characters in the film are refreshingly realistic; some have tempers, some are sometimes rude and they don't always say or do the right thing.Overall, this is a beautiful, breezy film that has freed itself from the constricting influence of "gay culture" - a film that helps you realize that life really has very few limitations.

SunnyBert I took my mature-age daughter to watch this movie, believing the enthousiastic user comments. Being of simple single-partner hetero stock, we were not prepared for the degree of physical contact and the degree of hopping into bed with any one encountered under the age of 70, with or without sexual activities. Loyalty obviously not an issue, also not an issue that being sero-positive is not communicated to the bed-fellows or otherwise worried about. We thought we were broadminded, but far from breaking down barriers, this movie creates distances. Unfortunate, missed opportunity.

shaid "May contain A spoiler"Félix (Sami Bouajila) is a gay, HIV positive and unemployed man who lives in the North part of France,who decides to go on a journey to the South of France in order to meet his father,whom he never knew. On the way he encounters some people who become a sort of family for him.Through Félix the film tackle subjects such as racism & homophobia and raise the question of what is a family? Though these subjects can make any film serious and heavy, the film itself is charming and light-hearted and have a warm feels to it, which make it easier to watch and very hard to resist.Go and see,you won't regret it.

liveheroes Have you ever gone to a movie with no expectations at all and come out over-enthusiastically? Well this is the kind of film that will make you leave the theater thinking 'Why am I complaining about stupid details, I just need to enjoy every moment I live ?'.Sami Boujila is superb as a gay, North African, unemployed guy who just lost his mother and has AIDS. Any normal person would just kill himself out of misery. But Felix won't. He decides to look up his father he never knew in Marseille and crosses the country meeting a lot of interesting people. The film deals with racism, indifference and homophobia, but is so fun too watch. If Felix was a Disney character, everybody would just want to buy a Felix-doll to look at when feeling a bit down.
