    My wife watched it through ....

    After half an hour of pretty pictures and 'what's it all about?' thoughts, I turned instead to Sudoku.

    At the end, wife said 'what was that about?'.

    Still, the photography was charming.

    Disappointing couple of hours

    What appeared to be a charming film from France turned out to be a bit of a stinker, with not an awful lot happening. The family in question got on fairly well together and so there were no major flare-ups to make an interesting story. The ending was rather odd too.

    I didn't enjoy this movie at all and would recommend people to avoid this film, where possible.
