Peter Debruge Variety Podalydes' patience-straining excursion amounts to an uneventful kayak ride downstream, rendered in the gentle, sunny style of an Alexander Payne movie, minus the laughs. Jun 9, 2015 Full Review Allan Hunter The List There hasn't been a more charming French film this year. Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

camille l Comme un avion, le nouveau film de Bruno Podalydès est une nouvelle réussite. En effet, cette comédie extrêmement calme se trouve être un sommet de plénitude et de poésie parfois potache, parfois profonde, avec un message jamais réellement asséné mais toujours présent. Pour une fois en premier rôle, Bruno Podalydès se débrouille extrêmement bien, tandis qu'il est bien épaulé par Agnès Jaoui, Denis Podalydès et surtout Vimala Pons, qui ne cesse d'étonner depuis quelques mois. Jamais chaotique malgré une narration très lâche, Comme un Avion est un petit bijou de comédie française qu'il serait dommage de manquer. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A silly little film about a man turning 50, getting a kayak obsession, leaving for a trip on a river with his kayak, drinking absinth, too much of it, and frolicking around with loose women in the country side. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
