3/5
At its best, Delaporte's film gives the impression of being uncovered as opposed to constructed, like an eccentric bit of driftwood exposed at low tide. Go to Full Review

3/5
The details of Normandy fishing life are rendered with surprising care. Go to Full Review

3/5
This is a sprightly and economical debut from French former journalist and writer-director Alix Delaporte. Go to Full Review

3/5
As a harrowing insight in the real emotional traumas of modern day life Angel & Tony is hard to beat. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) 05/05/2012
Delaporte, a documentarist making her feature debut, breathes life into the scenes where the reluctant antiheroine is instructed in recognising fish and gutting them. The story however carries little conviction. Go to Full Review
Paul Gallagher The List 05/04/2012
3/5
Hesme and Gadebois are both very good, somehow convincing us that this odd couple may inexplicably be right for each other, and the seaport setting is given a touch of poetry by Mathieu Maestracci's gentle score. Go to Full Review

02/13/2016 Another excellent French film with 2 amazing actors in the lead roles - Clotilde Hesme and Gregory Gadebois. See more 06/22/2014 It's full of good intentions, but in the end I found the story flat, a screenplay lazily written, and populated with empty characters. See more 09/18/2012 I was hoping this film would be good and I wasn't at all disappointed. It was lovely. The story is simple, and predictable enough if you want to predict things, but it's very nicely told, with delightful understatement and restraint. The film is beautifully photographed, again with great restraint, so that the beauty of the northern sea and sky and the pale and subtle colours of the landscape are allowed to emerge and speak for themselves. The film doesn't pretend to be anything more than a simple romance. It certainly doesn't pretend to be great. But it is in fact very good. See more 07/31/2012 An excellent film, bleak, tender, sexy and moving all together. It made me cry, and I'm a fairly cynical sort of guy. What a pity that such a minor masterpiece will never make it onto general release. It seems to me that French cinema at the moment is simply knocking spots off the general mainstream diet of Hollywood offerings and dare I say it, British films. Maybe we should make film making an Olympic Sport? Anyway, do yourself a favour - go and see it. You won't be disappointed. See more 03/06/2012 pas extra film un peu surcote See more 09/12/2011 Odd pairing of the lead characters with nothing in common. Not convinced that they will stay together for long after the ending. Nice cinematography. See more Read all reviews
