Micitype Pretty Good

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

imdb-jeroen Reading the other comments it seems everyone misses The Big Point in the movie: the meeting with Rui (the famous soccer-player) and the car accident serve as a catharsis for the main character Loic.One could argue that the meeting with Rui never really takes place, but is just a dream Loic has when he's unconscious after the car accident... I'm not sure, and I think that's exactly what the director wants me to be...Before the accident Loic has clearly lost his way, doesn't know how to give and receive love and fills that void with pointless sex. (Yes, some gay sex is quite bluntly shown, but to me that seems to have a very clear function) The split up with his platonic girl-friend/soul-mate Marie and quickly after that the unexpected death of her trigger a frenzy that ends in the car crash (or in meeting Rui and then the crash...)After his accident Loic ends up at his parents place again, and seeing them we get to understand a little bit of his handicap in love. But he's changed, the (dream-?)meeting with Rui and the death of Marie finally made him 'grow up' and see things, life, in a more adult, a more loving way. He starts to see a future for himself, not clearly, but at least clear enough to know what he doesn't want. In the end he even seems to discover the possibility of falling in love,,,

TedGuthrie This film was fascinating but very confusing. Plot lines seemed to start and stop at random, generally without even a hint of resolution. Perhaps the director suffers from whatever disability Luic suffers... not quite Attention Deficit Disorder, but clearly an inability to stay with a particular story line. And Luic's inability to empathize or even appropriately connect with others suggests that there's some psychological or mental condition at work. It's not simple naiveté... even after he's experienced something, he's still essentially untouched and unenlightened by it. Luic is reminiscent of Chauncey Gardner from Being There -- a delightful chap who's a blank slate-- others project motives and insights onto his blankness, but those projections say more about them than about him... there's simply no 'there' with Luic, except his ability to capture them in photographs, whether on his phone or in his head... he examines them in microscopic detail, but with no more comprehension than he has of the stuffed animals in the museum. And is he drawn to the fellow at the end because he thinks he's seeing himself... or someone who has the same disability?

jumpy5 This film took me into another country and into another world. It is a sensitive exploration of a young man trying to get his needs met the only ways he knows how. Luic, the young protagonist, is sorely lacking in his ability to cultivate the potential for relationships that appear in his life. The longing and hunger for emotional connection is powerfully expressed throughout the film. I wanted the young man to reach out to the other characters in the film, and the frustration I felt echoed that of Luic's. Obviously, he did not develop meaningful relationships in his childhood. And this has placed him inside a glass fortress of his own design. The filmmaker captures the human suffering associated with the conflict between our needful souls and our quest to live a life that speaks to those needs. I look forward to more films from this young director.

TranDucMinh What is wrong with homo flicks ? This one starts with a good idea and bogs down into utter confusion. The next step is complete oblivion.A nice actor portrays a young and ignorant man from Gruyère who refuses to commit, refuses to envisage his relationship beyond raw sex cruised on the internet. He lets a nice girlfriend escape him and tries to reinvent his life. Gradually he reflects on himself and thinks about cultivating his brain and shedding his quite meaningless existence (there does not seem to be much physical pleasure in it !). An interesting theme for a quite boring film.
