This is business as usual for Becker, albeit with a fine turn from French stalwart, Patrick Chesnais.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

[Looks] no further than the usual odd-couple clichs and opting for trite story beats rather than believable characterisation.

There's plenty to savour in Chesnais' expertly judged performance, while Becker's warmth towards the gentle pace of life in provincial France is palpable.

i loved Chesnais's character development from an angry, impatient grouch to the man who regained some perspective and started embracing beauty all over again. this is a good film reminding us to get our perspectives right and how being a grouch isn't of much use to anyone at all!

2 lost souls, found on a chance road-trip. Excellent grumpy/angsty acting.

surjoué pas au niveau des acteurs mais du scénario, des dialogues, de la réalisation

With a heavy-handed direction and absolutely no subtlety, this film starts well but soon turns into a cheap melodrama with a corny soundtrack and an artificial ending. Besides, Chesnais may be fantastic, but Jeanne Lambert is terrible as an annoying caricature of a teenager.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
