Audience Member The title translates to A Swallow Made in the Spring, but the American title is OK because people in the film keep referring to her that way. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps in real life this wd never happen, a Parisian girl abandoning her life for a life on the farm in Rhone Alps, but the story is touching and doesn't dwell on the city slicker in rural france theme. Michel Serrault gives a wonderful portrait of an old codger farmer who's perhapd too stuck in his ways to bend, but its precisely this that makes the relationship convincing and moving. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member well worth a watch for its honesty and integrity of two characters one positive and one negative.... read below Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful on-location photography, warm-hearted story line, attractive central character (Mathilde Seigner--a dead ringer for U.S. soccer star pinup model Hope Solo!). I liked this movie. No way does it deserve the 90% critics rating it's somehow received here on RT though. Also the RT synopsis lays it on too thick, to the point of inaccuracy. There's no indication this woman was successful in "the big city" and yet fled to the farm life anyway. We know almost nothing of that city life. The filmmaker's actual intro is better, more visual: The gal is stuck in a traffic jam, sees a sign on the rear end of the bus ahead which extols the scenic beauty of the Rhone-Alps. Her decision to go become a farmer there is apparently very impulsive! It actually goes well but of course there are ups and downs... Blah, blah. Needs more tension, romance, twists and turns. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member quiet but beautiful movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Seem to be in a French Film mode. This movie was just okay. Girl decides to move from Paris to the country & milk goats. It wasnt entirely bad but particularly interesting either. I kept waiting for some plot twist - some tanglible conclusion. Was left with nothing but a herd of goats. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
