a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I loved it! You need to know Corse and its habitants to understand some of the great moments of this movie, it may also lose part of its great dialogues in translation. Vincent Cassel is at its best.

As a young woman I was nauseated to see how one dimensional the Louna character was and the whole premise was like something out of a bad 1970s exploitation film. I literally know and have never known any women or girls who exist like this creature Louna. She exists merely as a plot device fantasy object to titillate middle aged men who think they have a hope in hell of bedding a beautiful young 17 year old. It is creepy beyond belief and the fact that she would want to have sex with her dad's best friend with her dad nearby has a incestuous kind of undertone that I found repellent. Trust me, any normal girl does not want to be having sex with someone with her dad in the same house or nearby. The fact that it's her dad's old best friend she wants to bone is just so much worse. At least the Marie character (the only convincing performance) calls her dad a pervert and her friend a slut for it, as any young girl would whose best friend sleeps with her old dad. He is said to be 45 in the film but Cassel looks older (because he is, he would have been late 40s when this was filmed). CLuzet's naff depiction of being an old pervert on the beach ogling young women's bums over his sunglasses didn't work at all. I wonder why he took this gig as he comes off as too respectable to be convincing as an old leering codger.Cassel's character's feeble protestations at Louna's demented seduction techniques are pathetic and don't come off as comedy but bizarro tragedy. Yeah avoid, at least I didn't pay to see this turd.This film has absolutely no place in 2017. Gross.

The film has a weak start and ends the same. I don't know what was I expecting from that review. It's a silly story, predictable, it was only made with the finality of being liked. Generally, the performances were a mess, even the soundtrack was annoying. Sincerely, I don't recommend this movie, don't waste your time.

I saw this at the french Film Festival in Sydney, 2016. I always go to see anything Francois Cluzet is in, but am afraid this year he disappointed. He seemed to be sleep-walking through this. I found the situations he was depicted in fairly tedious and not funny at all, though it is billed as a comedy.Alice Isaaz is the stand-out in this. She offers a nuanced role and view about the situation, which let's face it, is as old as the hills (Lolita - type seductress and older man who 'can't resist'). Isaaz's character does remind her 45- year old father that HE is the adult. "Lolita's" doe-eyes and pouting were grating. Her's was a one-note performance. Cassell was workmanlike, but the character was beyond irritating. His inability to say "No" to a 17 year old temptress was incredibly annoying. The sight of the fading studs walking u the beach eyeing off pert young female flesh was annoying to say the least. I didn't find it funny on the whole, though there were a couple of moments. Was killing the neighbour's dog instead of a wild boar meant to be funny? It wasn't. I would not bother to seek this out at a cinema. Maybe a DVD on a rainy afternoon.
