isla s 09/03/2022 This is a reasonably light hearted film, with some amusing moments and pretty likeable characters. I could certainly see things from the main characters perspective and I liked that she was able to speak her mind at times. There are some sad scenes and some amusing ones, as I say but overall it's a reasonably easy and enjoyable watch and so I'd recommend it, yes. See more tim s 03/27/2021 "I got life" is a realistic look at one woman's realisation that age is nothing more than a number despite her own body and various characters telling her otherwise. This includes a clever cameo appearance from French philosopher and noted author Francoise Heritier who explains on T.V. the traditional stages of life that favour a mans freedom and a woman's servitude. The film's original French title is Aurore which simply refers to its heroine , but the English title  is taken from The Nina Simone record that plays during a dream like sequence when Aurore ( Agnes Jaoui ) dances with her two infant daughters.  It is a warm , simple little film that explores the emotions of a 50 year old single, divorced mother trying to come to terms with both becoming a grandmother while experiencing the menapause. There are some amusing moments particularly a date scene in a restaurant where the staff double as opera singers during service making it almost impossible for diners to engage in any form of conversation. As a French language film it has to be engaging enough to non speaking French audiences and I got life very much pulls you into the narrative enough to forget you are reading subtitles.  Overall this film is a warm, light hearted, well acted rom com that explores a few taboo subjects really well. It's a little predictable but a nice watch. See more 03/25/2021 This movie was such a pleasant surprise. I don't think I would recommend it for males, but a great movie for women of a certain age. Very entertaining and the actress gave a great performance. She was so natural. See more 01/08/2019 This is kind of ok. My main reservations relate to the way men are portrayed and the lack of psychological realism.
