| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThis character study in two parts -- Cesar nominated Vincent Lindon's being the more central of the two -- is about how people deal with grief in a myriad of ways. |
| User ReviewLuisa GUn regard juste sur des situations difficiles à gérer |
| User ReviewPrivate Ui like it, it's slow & kind of romantic, although the story is a bit flat, but i still very appreciate Le Ny's courage for not showing any tears/depression on certain topic. Vincent Lidon was very good in the film! |
| User ReviewCrystal HGood movie. Some very very funny moments (e.g. the baby!) that give relief to the sadness throughout. I'm really touched by the deep emotion and calmness shown by Bertrand. Where can you find comfort when all your loved ones left and all of a sudden you find yourself all alone in the big house? |
| User ReviewAndromeda YThe approach is good, without the usual tear jerking scenes between patients/family/doctors, etc. Funny, sad and emotional. The 2 leads have done a good job. |
| User ReviewPeter DRather than showing valiant fighters battling cancer, the film focuses on their loved ones, a husband and girlfriend who cross paths in the oncology ward and turn to one another to cope with their grief. In her directorial debut, French actress Anne Le Ny delivers a touching, all-too-human love story that conveys everything through closely observed detail. Outstanding. |
| User ReviewJimmy FIncredibly subtle and well observed. Adroitly skirts the traps of pathos and melodrama. Excellent performances. |
| User ReviewSylvain LLes comédiens tellement bons, les textes tellement justes. |
| User ReviewNathalie DUn point de vue différent sur la maladie et la mort. Intéressant! |
| User ReviewReynald Dmalgré un histoire qui pourrait faire fuir, un tres joli film porté par 2 tres bons acteurs (rien d'étonnant, ils sont tjrs tres bons!! ). Un beau film francais, dans la bonne acception du terme, sans pathos et symbolique à 2 balles mais avec un je ne sais quoi qui vous laisse quelque chose apres l'avoir vu... |
