[It's] omewhat redeemed by an endearing turn from Belgian-born star Emilie Dequenne, who brings something extra to a film that seems to be deliberately playing with Gallic rom-com stereotypes, yet has a hard time going beyond them.

Above its faults rises yet another distressing and noteworthy performance from Emilie Dequenne.

There's an underlying humanity to this film that makes it irresistible.

Che i film potessero far piangere, ridere, ridere e piangere, riflettere, angosciare, divertire, crescere lo sapevamo tutti. Che un film potesse suscitare le stesse emozioni di Parma Cesena 1 a 2 del 25 Gennaio 2015 l'ho scoperto stasera.

Fin abrute. Mais romantisme intelligent et différent. Un peu à la surface parfois tout de même intéressant dans ce genre de film d'avoir un philosophe qui cite du Kant comme personnage principal.

Dans le genre ultra mauvais difficile de faire pire, jeu d'acteurs improbables, scenario ridicule, pas credible pour deux sous, dialogues a la limite du supportable, décors hideux, clichés permanents atroces, et bien entendu, une fin ultra mauvaise et comletement deplacee

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Too heavy for a comedy, too light for a drama. Although it doesn't have Frenchies' common strong La Nouvelle Vague smell, still looking flat & plain.
