Will G A great movie about a singer in France. The music was good. I liked the scenes of Paris. The acting was well done. A good French New Wave movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Luca D Not shot and edited like every other film from the early 60s which I really liked. Very mature in style. The love interest part came later than expected but I get that the film wanted to seem a little rushed towards the end, matching Cleo's anticipation of her tests results. The unsettled feeling of Cleo is directly related to the events that happen and it has you on edge the whole time and gets more agitating towards the end, as you get closer to the doctors final verdict. Would definitely watch again Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review julie b In a contained vessel, it’s both a rich portrait of a woman transforming over 90 mins, but also of a city - so many snippets and shots of Paris in the 60s - conversations overheard, radio announcements, people watching. Loved the way it was shot, with a variety of styles/perspectives, and use of mirrors throughout. The best parts are the scenes with Antoine traveling around Paris; they remind me of Before Sunset 🫶🏻. “You seem to be waiting for something, rather than someone” “They just like to be loved. They’re afraid to give themselves, to lose something” Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Blobbo X Absorbing, well-shot character study. Blobbo approved. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Anne G A really touching and real movie about a young woman who is an aspiring, somewhat successful pop-singer but has found out she may have cancer, the film tracks two hours before she gets her final diagnosis. Those around her mostly respond with a mixture of humoring her and outright minimizing her fears ... as she gets further away from those in her inner circle, she gets slightly more support, until finally it is an unknown soldier on leave from Algeria who escorts her to the hospital to find the news - he cannot stay to be with her, but is the most real contact she has, accepting her fear and not mocking it [likely because he's in a different world, of war, and focused on real things, not what song will sell best or what hat is appropriate for summer]. What's shocking is reading the original 1962 reviews, mostly from male reviewers, calling the protagonist a "girl" and "selfish child" while describing the actress as "plump" and "leaden" or criticizing the director for not developing the story enough and showing too much random street action. [The lead actor is beautiful and not at all "plump," lol, re leaden - I mean, how are you supposed to be waiting for a cancer diagnosis?] To me this film seems completely contemporary, anyone who's had a health scare for themselves or a loved one can relate to the sense of disassociation/lack of connection ... the killing of time, nervous wanting to get out of petty day to day obligations and search for connection. It's a very sensitive and well-made film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Brian M It's brilliantly conceived and directed, with some of the best editing choices I've seen in a film. The only knock I have is the third act drags a bit. Otherwise, it is worthy of being considered one of the greatest films of all time.
