Audience Member Go with Le Flo is a charming, eclectic romantic comedy, a generous collaboration by filmmakers Michael Glover and Robyn RosenKrantz with the assistance of many talented friends. I adored this film and am very excited to share my views. The story with its picturesque locations including a Parisian style shop in Berlin - "Le Flo" - is delightful. It was filmed entirely in Berlin and stars actors Denis Aubert and Marina Senckel. The French actress Leslie Dubreuil added a refreshing interpretation that was enjoyable to see - like Cameron Diaz in "Something about Mary". A fun film, Go with Le Flo is full of vigor and laughter that might also draw tears near the films end. A film for the discerning mind. I especially enjoyed scenes in the bakery between Gabi and Jenny, Florian on his scooter and the action that leads up to the big finale. There are many great moments worth mentioning - I just can't list them all. Special kudos to Bright Blue Gorilla for their original film scoring that was simply beautiful. Good filmmaking like Go with Le Flo is necessary to humanity. Thank you to the crew, film executives and actors for a job well done. SKC July 30, 2014. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a pleasant romantic comedy. I found myself smiling almost the entire movie and laughing out loud a few times. There's an atmosphere that pervades the film that I couldn't put my finger on. But when I saw the outtakes at the end I figured out what it was: They actually had FUN making this. That percolates throughout the film. I also speak German so I got a take on the film that not every American does: Glover and Machrowiak's dialog is written the way people would like to be able to talk. (Like the old-style movies used to do.) It's witty and perfectly timed - like a song. If only we could do this in every day life... The dialog style would be tricky for many actors, but Denis Aubert (Florian) and Marina Senckel (Jenny) make it work. One character who seems quirky and quick enough to almost be this witty is Tina - the shop assistant - played by Roberta Bianchini. Her job interview scene and the back and forth about the trials of dating - with Florian - is a comedic highpoint. It's only occasionally that the humor is paid for at the expense of credibility. But this is a screwball comedy, not a historical drama, so credibility is not the number one priority. Overall, I think it's a worthwhile movie to watch and I give extra points for the lack of guns, violence, explosions or profanity. (Very rare indeed in 2014.) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Set in a breezy Berlin, "Go with Le Flo" is a charming, romantic comedy about the pursuit of misguided love that leads the audience on a romp through smiles, laughter and good music. On his search for a soul mate, our bemused food shop owner hero encounters delightful customers, residents and visitors to this buzzing international city, along with pratfalls, stuffed sausages and a rather slippery plate of sauerkraut. I recommend this joyous, well acted film that harkens back to a gentler time and is reminiscent of the wonderfully human Italian film "Bread and Chocolate". Do yourself a favor and "Go with Le Flo" to the German capital. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It doesn't happen often that you go to a theater to watch a movie and are being surprised. This is what happened when I watched 'Go With Le Flo' at the Downtown Independent Theater. What I experienced for 80 minutes was not some fantasy world or exotic tale far from my own life but the lovely spirit of a contemporary filmmaker capturing the joy of everyday life: The fun we have with awkward moments, the hilarious entanglements and slapstick scenes that happen to us usually when nobody is around to record it for the world to see. I came out of this movie with a light heart having encountered real people in a real world with real problems and it all makes sense. What's new about this romantic comedy? The unique way in which it was captured on screen, and the palpable joy of cast and film team working on real locations comes across in every frame. 'Go With Le Flo' is as delicate as a summer breeze in Berlin: if you don't open your heart, you'll miss it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyed --super fun--it contains a playful quality in spirit that made me smile and laugh from the time I saw the preview. I thought all of the acting, setting, costumes, & production qualities were well done...I loved seeing in the credits that the cast & crew came together from 20 countries...There is love in this project...even more than in the plot. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Since I prefer indie films over formulaic studio fare, I really enjoyed this refreshing comedy. I hope there are more indie comedies in the works by Michael Glover and his talented team. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
