Absorbing warm-hearted French drama - Amanda review by Alphaville
Beautifully realised French drama about a young man and his 7yo niece. The main plot point is a shocker that affects their lives. To say more would be a spoiler, even though many reviewers seem to want to spoil the viewing experience by giving the game away (why do they do that?). Even the trailer, for once, is safe to watch.
The film is intriguingly plotted, beautifully acted and directed, makes Paris look wonderful and takes you on an emotional ride. Only the French make films like this, when even a bicycle ride through the city, evoking memories of La Nouvelle Vague, is a joy to watch.
