- "...Mr. Jeunet's sense of humor gives the movie heart; his real affection for the medium can be seen in all the funny little curlicues and jottings around the action..."

  There is no English Audio
  
  Just be aware there is no audio track, only subtitles. I expect it is a very good film for a native french speaker.

  Strangely compelling
  
  Strangely compelling. I really enjoyed it and I'm not really an arty person, got over the subtitles really quickly. Well worth a watch.

  C'est Magnifique!
  
  Don't be put off by it being subtitled... It is beautiful, just beautiful! So quirky and a lovely little twist at the end.

  Gloriously French

  I adored this beautifully shot, quirky, touching, funny film. I would describe the main character as introverted, mischevious and most of all sweet. It is ... read more »

  An immensely enjoyable, quirky film and normally I run a mile from anything that is remotely 'rom-com'. In my opinion this film isn't from that ... read more »
