Audience Member A clear example of nepotism at the Cannes Film Festival (it would have never competed if it were not French), and the beautiful cinematography and great actors cannot do much to save a terribly dull narrative that relies on such an awful amount of inelegant exposition. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Une performance impressionnante de Depardieu qui nous rappelle ainsi qu'il est toujours l'acteur audacieux et polyvalent parfaitement a l'aise chez Moliere, Blier, Duras, sur scene avec Barbara, à Hollywood ou plus recemment en Belgique dans Mammuth et Valley of Love. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost an Huppert vs. Depardieu movie. It also happens to be a story about family, loss and love. It might lack some narrative depth but it still works as yet another example of the irresistible minimalism of French cinema. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member THE FRENCH ARE COMING, THE FRENCH ARE COMING: My take on the flims #Lolo, #ValleyofLove and #My Golden Days http://ow.ly/10jLjY Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Kinda' like Jim Jarmusch and Wim Wenders collaborating to re-make the Parent Trap. Slow, subtitled and at times excrutiating, in so many ways... but overall I couldn't take my eyes off it. Even when my girlfriend begged me to leave because she was so bored after the first 20 minutes. Full of stylized french "meaning". Subtle, complex, nuanced, symbolic. Kinda' a puzzle that requires you to put the pieces together. The sort of movie audiences don't like but critics do. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The desperate search for the lost child, and as a corollary, for love as well. The desert is hot and dry, vast and mountainous and the physicalities of Huppert, with her bitterness and flame-coloured looks, and Depardieu who is monumental, reflect it exactly. The desert echoes their profound loneliness. The film portrays the loss that happens now so easily In the age of blocking, deleting, unfriending and the like, and even the resort only to skype for contact. The acting performances are sans pareil; you find out how naturalistic they are, because of how uncomfortable you feel, even when they are being humorous, which is often enough. The fantastic landscapes and the oppressive atmosphere pose a constant menace. You are carried along and surprised when it ends. For adults only, this is an item of classic proportions.
