Julien T The JaBac have done it again! Better still, they've actually reached peak form in their writing, interpretation and overall qualities of sharp wit, humour and understanding of human relationships. "Un air de famille" was a step up from "Cuisine et dépendances". This is another step up from "Un air de famille". A must-see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review julien d Jean Pierre Bacri at its best. A wonderful movie and a great critic of the artist underwold. If you have to watch a french movie, ho for this one. Great acting! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review jordan m This could easily have been 90 minutes if they had trimmed some (or even most) of the exposition from the first act. Things really didn't heat up until the very end of the movie when the bald guy realized that he'd been mistreated and undervalued by the friend group he tried to join. The acting was solid but I had a hard time paying attention to that because this was among the wordiest foreign movies I've ever seen; my eyes were glued to the subtitles the entire time. It wasn't just that there was a lot of dialogue, it was that they seemed to have trimmed the movie not by discarding unnecessary scenes but by discarding every spare moment that would've allowed the scenes to breathe a little bit. I would imagine I'm far from the target audience here and that my viewing experience as a native French speaker would've been better, but from my point of view this is one of the weakest Foreign Language Oscar nominees of its year and among the least-deserving movies to have a 100% on Rottentomatoes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s The Taste of Others isn't a film that is going to change the way you view the world or cause you to reflect inwardly with regards to your relationships with others. It's simply an entertaining movie that deals with a large number of characters, most of whom talk a lot, and their interpersonal relations with other members of the aforementioned large cast. The characters are all likeable, the dialogue is witty, there are some laughs to be had, and the whole thing just leaves you feeling good. It's a French film, so if you're not fluent in French, the subtitles, based on the voluminous amount of talking, are hard to keep up with at times. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice comedy that has pokes some friendly barbs at social and class conventions, while being utterly charming. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review nefasto r With characters so approachable and realistic, is difficult not fall for them, feel their struggles and remain entangled in their dramatically funny problems of the heart.
