'Heartstrings'is another beautiful and enjoyable french film that makes us see that cinema in France is getting better every time.The performances were excellent, especially Alix Vaillot as Marie: the way her character grows throughout the 85 minutes of the movie is just as wonderful and heartbreaking as her character itself. The script was also very good, 'cause it is lighthearted, hilarious but above all, it was human. Even if its a family movie, it doesn't mean that it isn't realistic and honest, because it perfectly portrays all the struggles that a person with a degenerative illness (and anybody) has to face to become a musician, and in life.I personally loved all the scenes with Victor and Marie, because of how lovely and real they were executed. I felt completely identified with the character of Victor in those scenes.Definitely worth to watch, especially if you love french cinema like me (particularily if you loved 'Ma Vie de Courgette'), and also if you are new in french movies, this is a good one to start.Thanks for reading!

Heartstrings (Le Coeur En Braille) is one of the greatest films I've watched which seriously surprised me in terms of the fascinating story, brilliant actors and excellent background music! I must say that actor Jean Stan Du Pac (Victor) and actress Alix Vaillot (Marie) put significant efforts in performing their characters to an outstanding level. Moreover, the background music is doing well in expressing the moods of the characters while driving the plot. Compared to so many great movies I've watched, Heartstrings (Le Coeur En Braille) is definitely the most excellent film about innocent childhood love of all time. The ending is surprising, sad, profound and also satisfying. Throughout the entire movie, I honestly can't find a single flaw and every second is perfect regarding both frames and contents, everything works perfectly fine, and if you enjoy romantic comedies, this excellent movie should be the first one on your must-watch list!

A lot of blindness going around in French cinema lately, this is the second new film in the salles to feature the affliction. Actually it's not too hard to take because the two teenage leads are actually bearable. We are, of course, back in Beatrice and Benedek country but this time we have a 'troubled' boy slowly falling for a girl who is gradually losing her sight. This would be a drag at the best of times but she is desperate to get into the Conservatory and develop her natural ability with the cello. Not too hard to guess how it develops and it's a pleasant diversion throughout its not overlong running time though Charles Berling is wasted as the girl's father.
