Audience Member A thought experiment that should have stayed as a thought - no reason to make a movie of these bland mental meanderings. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Sara V I loved it. I laughed and laughed. Delightfully relaxing and entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Foster F I thought this a delightful...and in some ways a highly poignant comedy. Pleased I had an opportunity to view it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review john f A very funny French comedy that will delight with its light touch and occasional deep pathos.
