Audience Member Sublime Karin Viard... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member The film seems trying to lighten up the supposed-to-be sad story into one light comedy. Somehow I just still couldn't get the French sense of humor all the time. Though, it is a delighting piece to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review maureen t Adult adoptee is wise in helping others on her talk radio advice show but a neurotic mess in her own life. Goes searching for her bio mother but is shook up by her discoveries. Good performances and an oddly believable script. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/13 Full Review Audience Member Comédie romantique plutot banale et surtout très inégale.... À peine charmant, le genre de film qu'on rencontre sur une tablette quelques années plus tard et dont on se dit : "Ouin... me semble que j'ai déjà vu ça...." Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Intelligent, sensitive, understated, reflective, this is a movie for grown-ups. It's Claire/Mélina's story and Viard is compelling in the role. Piaud avoids the clichés of genre in both plot and direction to produce a movie that captures the reality of life; funny, sad, tragic, disappointing, difficult, but ultimately liveable. For me, very moving and worthwhile. Some won't get it at all. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A good French movie about a radio host, the most approachable person on air but reclusive and distant in private life, who finds her mother who abandoned her at an early age. It's a quiet film with a pleasant pace. It's moving yet still light. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
