Film Reviews by DM

This film is very watchable in the earlier scenes as it is well filmed, well acted and the characters are interesting. All of the story lines seem to reach a dead end and disappear ,however, without any resolution and you're left wondering why most of the characters took part.

Ultimately a frustrating watch.

I loved this film for its portrayal of an almost idealised France which nevertheless comes across as very real. The sense of place is immediate and the actors very natural and appealing. The references throughout to Demy's films and his own presence as an adult don't interrupt the flow of the narrative at all and only serve to further one's involvement with the characters. Up there with my best cinema experiences.
