    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Melanie Laurent's directorial debut is one of the saddest films I have seen in years. In true French movie style the incident that almost splits the film into two comes out of nowhere and what follows is a tear fest for anyone who may have been unlucky enough to have known what waiting in hope for something that may never come back is.

    Brilliant film by the beautiful Melanie Laurent and great cast that includes herself!!

  • heart pounds at this unflinching performance

    I thought the casting was beautiful, I thought the movie was both detailed & driven. The movie made my heart beat, I have never sympathised with a character so hard & emotionally begged there to be another way. I didn't realise until after the movie Mélanie Laurent was responsible for directing, she is an all round sensational person

    A good story, well done, good casting and performance. A new great French upcoming director. I'll be searching for other film from her.

    Such a sad but beautiful film!

    Didn't realise it was French subtitiled and almost didn't watch it but I loved Amelie so thought I'd give it a go.

    Really glad I watched it and would highly recommend it!

    I think this film is more than just OK.

    It brings out happiness and sadness at the same time , most romantic films don`t keep me captivated like this film.

    Truly great , a must watch.
