A lesser comedy with a protagonist that repels any kind of empathy and takes steps towards a humor that is hardly humorous. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Milagros Amondaray La Nación (Argentina) 09/01/2022

07/23/2024 A thought experiment that should have stayed as a thought - no reason to make a movie of these bland mental meanderings. See more Sara V 07/22/2024 I loved it. I laughed and laughed. Delightfully relaxing and entertaining. See more Foster F 06/13/2024 I thought this a delightful...and in some ways a highly poignant comedy. Pleased I had an opportunity to view it. See more john f 02/25/2022 A very funny French comedy that will delight with its light touch and occasional deep pathos. See more Read all reviews
