Tedious and pretentious, lacking any redeeming characteristics.

I am generally inclined to give French cinema more chances than it occasionally deserves. But this one, for me at least, failed miserably at every step. Ponderous acting, a clunky and fumbling performance from the male lead, and a pretentious dialogue. Perhaps this was the intention, in which case I clearly missed the point? No charm, no humour, no wit, nothing that redeemed the tedious sequence of pretty unbelievable exchanges between apparently (?) young people with a huge need to analyse, question and debate their every utterance. I persevered to the end, which for me was the only highlight of the film, and took far too long arriving!
