AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Hans-Georg Michna (hgmichna) This movie is quite typically French—lots of talking, little actually happening. But within this framework it starts out quite well, is well directed, well acted, and the story is initially good and interesting.In the second half of the movie the two main figures plan an ingenious plot that makes the viewer curious about how it would work out. However, just when the movie becomes most interesting and things are actually happening, the plan abruptly fails in a rather concocted, unlikely way, frustrating the viewer and rendering the rest of the movie uninteresting.What a pity! This could have been one of the better French-style movies, if only the story author would have got his act together.
arthera09 I don't want to have to give this a lower score, but i cannot justify a higher score. It was mildly enjoyable, but it was slow moving. It a wonderful intimate moment on the bed where it was just the shot of his hand on her body. It was very well shot and structured. The fact that that scene was the best scene of the movie made the rest of it seem mediocre especially as the storyline became even more ridiculous. The performances where nothing special, but the two main actors sold the love scenes. I do think at the end there was some originality and had a lot of potential, but seeing movies like this makes me think of other movies I have seen that have done it better. The only reason that this even gets a 7 and not a 6 is because I enjoyed the story structure, but it wore on me after a while and the scene when they first make love. I also did not really care if the two actors kissed at the and it might have been more enjoyable if they left up to the imagination of the viewer. If it served a purpose with respect to the characters maybe, but I do not think it pulled it off at all.
peterb-49 Just saw this movie this afternoon and loved it. A light fare, excellent music, wonderful plot with a twist in the tail at the end. You certainly leave the theater on a high. My favorable impression might be clouded by the fact that I am a admirer and lover of French cinema. Do not expect high drama, superb acting but some wonderful moments that will entertain and amuse every aficionado of modern cinema. Loved the use of color to highlight moods an emotions, with the clothes of the actors and the background of the sets complementing each other wonderfully. The acting as said is not spectacular, however all characters are brought to life and made very personable and likable.
writers_reign Emmanuel Mourcet is quietly carving out a niche as a master of the bittersweet love story, not only writing and directing but also starring and anyone who saw his last effort, Changement d'addresse, will want to catch this follow-up. Playing opposite him are two of the loveliest actresses in current French cinema, Julie Gayet and Virginie Ledoyen with Frederic Bel - who was also in Changement d'addresse - thrown if for good measure. Not a lot happens; Gayet asks directions from a stranger, accepts first a lift then a date but refuses the goodnight kiss she longs to accept. By way of explanation she tells a story of how another girl, Viginie Ledoyen, DID accept a kiss from Mouret that ultimately changed both their lives and it is, of course, more than possible that Gayet is using the 'a friend' ploy to speak about herself. You may not go that far to find a more charming and delightful movie but certainly farther than the corner drugstore, even a corner drugstore in the next town. If I were you I'd catch this one when it plays a cinema near you.
