Audience Member It's all a bit silly and surprisingly dated, but it offers some fun as well as some insight into a sad woman. Nathalie Baye is really the main reason to watch this film. She plays a woman entering her 40's who has taken on a very grim view of romance. She has meaningless flings, but she views love as a negative. For her character, love can only bring pain. She actually equates the concept of love as a form of slavery. But when an opportunity of real connection comes to her in an unexpected way she is forced to re-think her ideas and expectations regarding love. The really odd thing is this is an ensemble piece, but I was only interested in Baye's character. It bears mentioning that I remember this film so well. I've not seen it a long time. It has stayed with me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not very bad, just rather slow, lightweight french romantic comedy. Nice french set; story was quite sweet, yet not very clear or convincing. The thing is I watched this film like 10 years ago, and something about it stuck in my memory, so I wanted to rewatch again and.. really it's quite lightweight. It tackles age and love, but for me it lacked some depth. It should be ok for tired evening in a bed (it's not bad, because we also need films for such occasions). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member not my type of movie...but there is something about this French romantic movie i enjoyed...i thought the acting was great...not bad at all... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I will say,one of the rare forgien language films i watched,where i didnt nessacarly need subtiles to understand whats going on. The stor was good and it doesnt hurt tha Audrey Tautou was half naked in it,but much like other films lately,this one had Tautou plastered on the cover,yet she was barely in it,still a good movie though. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This, and not «Le fabuleux destin d'Amà (C)lie Poulain» is the film that placed me under the spell of the lovely Audrey Tautou. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member French women are ranked number two on my list of most intriguing ... right after those from the Pacific :) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
