Gently charming French rom-com - The Hairdresser's Husband review by JD
There are some truly memorable moments of humour particularly if you remember woollen swimming trunks or sexual awakening as a boy. There are some cringing moments like a middle aged man dancing energetically to Middle Eastern music but it is a bit too soft to be good. The Mediterranean sun gives a wonderful light to fresh lace and linen, you can almost smell the hair lotions, but you really have to let this one come to you to enjoy it.

A French Film - The Hairdresser's Husband review by AB
Sublime .....and out on its own....... but an essential part of modern french cinema.... with the onus on you to take from it all that you can find.
