It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

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.

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's a film with an ordinary quality. Probably the most 'accessible' French film I've ever watched.To elaborate and clarify, I rate a film 6/10 when it's not a bad film but it has nothing new to offer to its own genre much less the cinema as a whole. It is recommendable only on the ground that one is a hardcore fan of the genre, theme, director etc. To acquire higher point, the film must contribute something to its own genre or theme. It doesn't have to invent something new but it must have a high quality over all. A practical example would be a film that define the genre of that particular year.

I found this French film from the writer/director Ŕemi Beanc̗on intriguing. The first quarter of the film initially engaged the professional me; that part that is a child and adolescent psychologist; with an impressionistic overlay of happily narcissistic and negligent parenting and spends the rest of the film unfolding the effect of this on the three children and even in a somewhat family therapy and Lacanian way showing how this bad habit of self absorption can be traced back three generations. However, I don't want to make the film sound heavy or preachy. It remains light and real and the only heaviness is the dramatically impactful incidents which evolve from these well sketched dynamics. Besides, the musical me was delighted by a perfect scene from the late 70's which had me reflecting that I had not played air guitar with quite such élan and enthusiasm since exactly that time. Also note the plot line that follows one of the male brothers frustrating failure to follow through on a truly kismetic introduced love interest. Superb, light but deep film about what carelessly inattentive parenting can do to all those (or that's the joke isn't it? – uninvolved with the result). Depths left unexplored in The Movie Show. Four stars from me. Beautiful.

What attracted me to this one was the billing. Jacques Gamblin who I have yet to see give a bad or even mediocre performance plus Zabout Breitman who directed one of the finest French films of the last few years, Se Souvenirs des belles choses, and is an equally fine actress plus Deborah Francois, the very promising newcomer who scored heavily as the Page-Turner a couple of years ago. There's not that much to it; we're privy to the highs and lows of a family over a period of several years; they laugh, they cry, they fight, there are crises to be dealt with and they are; The penultimate scene is just Zabou sitting silently and I can still see it forty eight hours later. Not, of course, for everyone but then what is.

Yes we've already watched this kind of movie... Yes the different "life issues" and/or "family issues" that are exposed are quite classic...But I really enjoyed watching this movie. The actors and actresses are very good, the musical atmosphere is great too, and the situations or dialogs made me laughed quite often.It's a typical french movie, describing the different parts of a human life, from first life experiments to "old age" crises. The love that exists in the family looks real, pure, and is stronger than all the ordeals the different family members will encounter. A real sweet time I had by watching this movie, you can go!
