The Hollywood Reporter

The performances by Schmidt and Bel are adequate, but Brasseur, who played opposite the likes of Jean Gabin back in the 1950s, is unable to get much change out of the stereotyped role of the old grump.

The fact Henri attempts to pimp out Constance to upset his bourgeois son's sterile marriage seems overlooked in the syrupy climax. An unlikeable film about unlikeable people.

Rated: 1/5

The Public (Buffalo)

It's blandly pleasant, and the music is quite nice, but you'll be hard pressed to remember anything about it a week after you see it.

Conveys a message of empathy, friendship and perseverance. We have heard it before but contemporary history shows that it hasn't been enough. [Full review in Spanish]

A perfect French comedy, the kind that makes you smile at the sometimes painful jokes life plays. A little sentimental, a little risque, a little unoriginal but so what - a wonderful break from the flood of superhero movies, thrillers, horror movies, overly blatant American comedies, and teenage melodramas that clutter up my streaming services choices. A creamy eclair or Napoleon in a world of Oreo cookies and Cinnabons.

Nice story, started off with a slightly messed up deal. "Don't catch cold" everyone.

A story that teach us that one can find acceptance where you don't expect and to grow even when you think it's too late. Perseverance, family and dreams combine with a bit of comedy.

L'etudiante et Monsieur Henri [Calbérac, 2015] There is chemistry between the two leads. Nothing like a new experience though. 5/10
