Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
donby-1 I completely disagree with pvsp in his review. This film examines four forty-year old males and their relationships with women & with each other. As such, it is in turn, strong, profane, comic, & even moving. The plot is the kind I like--impossible to predict and feels very, very real.Most of the actors were unfamiliar to me, but they hit the mark every time. In particular, there is Bernard Campan (he plays the husband whose wife is unfaithful to him) who turns in a subtle, nuanced performance.Only criticism I would have is that, since each of the men has relationships with two women, it's hard to keep the female characters straight in one's mind. But that's a small caveat.I know I'm not the only person to feel positive towards this film, as they are currently filming a sequel in Paris !
Peter Ellis These four men have so much in common that you'd be forgiven for thinking that they weren't a four-man football (soccer) team.They show the friendship that men can have: Secrets, lies, and truth, in measures enough to make the friendship viable, even necessary.The ensemble of women around them make the men look like angels, at times, until you see the signs of the men's individual and collective guilt about some of what goes on among this extended friendship group: The character that seems best settled into bachelorhood turns out to be truly a modern male lover; love turns to dust and back again; what seems a shallow, flippant fling turns into real love; the one you like at first turns out to be a misogynist after all, or is he? The film has a little of almost everyone in it, so it resonates for us all.
lucacdo-1 This was a great movie: it offers an introspective trip in the feelings of men (male gender). The result is really great and never boring. The characters are great and actors perform very well. If you want to think a little, and in particular if you are a woman, you'll be glad to discover the sensitive side of many contemporary men. French men are similar to Italian men and this movie helps us understand that everywhere in the world (maybe in the old world in particular?) there is a wide range of different kinds of sensitive men who do not want to act like "macho" puppets. Moreover, this movie is not only for movie fanatics: you do not have to concentrate on every word otherwise you lose the depth of the story plot. My wife and I liked the show and simply had good time watching the DVD. Enjoy!
Sofad This is an excellent character-driven movie. A fantastic effort by rookie director Marc Esposito. The movie is about the complex relationships between men and women. If you liked the "taste of others" (le gout des autres) you will like this movie. Guaranteed. The characters are easy to get drawn to. At the end, we are left wanting more. A sequel, please Marc ;) Good movie, great acting, good plot. 8/10
