Seydoux is always worth watching even with the unbecoming, cropped hairstyle she adopts here.

Mia Hansen-Løve’s One Fine Morning is a humorous and incredibly charming romantic drama about finding love when you least expect it – with an excellent performance from Léa Seydoux.

The Hindu

Having lost her father to Benson’s syndrome during the pandemic and never getting the chance to bid farewell to him, Mia Hansen-Løve’s film feels like her final goodbye to his spirit and her attempt at seeking closure.

But it's mainly down to the strong performances of Poupaud and especially Seydoux, whose performance captures life's complications and contradictions.

Young Parisian widow, with endearing child, has an affair with a married man while coping with her retired philosophy lecturer (he would be, its a French film) father's mental decline. A sensitive study if slow. But there is a feeling of having seen this study of Parisian bourgeois life many times before.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Lea Seydoux is sublime in this tender and moving tale of a young widow raising her daughter, helping her aging father and falling in love with a married man. Navigating through life’s complex emotions in a way only the French can do, this is understated and intoxicatingly sexy. Enjoy.

Strong performances. The film transports you to the simple pleasures, the basic desires, and the sorrowful events that make our ordinary lives painful and worth living at the same time. It's my favorite style of French film making: a close up lens on ordinary lives.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mia Hansen-Løve tells a story about love and life in an interesting and long drawn out way. The French-language feature takes time to develop and then doesn't go anywhere, but that appears to be the point. Life is moving quickly at the same time it isn't progressing. Brilliant at its best, it is worth seeing, but won't be for everyone. Final Score: 6.2/10

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
