  Funny enough
  
  A diverting hour or so, but nothing to leave a lasting impression.

  Another Strange French Film

  A really interesting plot made believable by subtle acting and script, but some may find it slow paced with a relatively lightweight ending. Not for action fans... read more »

  This film irritated me..
  
  ..What on earth?! The blurb looked promising, but I had no idea where it was going and was left confused and rather bored! Very French, though.

  Fanciful but thought-provoking story, a quiet drama which I found absorbing at the time, though not particularly memorable. This film looks beautiful with great... read more »

  A Classy French One
  
  In my experience French films are long, and winding trips to nothingness. They are introspective to an extreme. This is a different kettle of fish. I was so ... read more »

  A beautiful piece of nonsense.
  
  Well acted, nicely shot, good music, etc but with a plot that could have been written on the back of a postage stamp.

  Not that amusing, reasonably preposterous and generally a bit of a let down.
