Did you people see the same film I saw?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I just saw it in a festival and a several ladies left before the end. Me, i laughed a lot until tears come to my eyes. You need to really enjoy bizarre movies to like this one. This movie is unusual, funny, rare; the characters are dorky, exaggerated, histrionic, endearing. I can't tell too much without spoilers, but if you like peculiar movies with weird sense of humor, this movie is perfect. Its in the same line of Toni Erdmann but... a little weirder. And Juliette Binoche is awesome here. I loved it but again, it is not for people who don't like stranger things. And I need to complete the ten-lines-review, so I want to say, one more time, if you like weird movies, go for it!
The worst movie of 2016 for me. Stay away. I like European movies. I love French cinema. And I liked Valeria Bruni Tedeschi in "Un château en Italie" and in "Ah! Si j'étais riche". Actually I went to see her perform. I was disappointed in her performance and in the movie itself. I was expecting something unusual, unorthodox and quirky but at the same time pleasant and light. But this is beyond my expectations.This movie is terrible and disgusting, not funny at all and leaving an aftertaste. I understand the metaphors and allusions, but this is just disgusting execution.There were 5 people in the movie theater at the beginning of the movie and 3 people stayed till the end (I was one of them). Why did I do it to myself? I should have left at the beginning.
This movie is so bad that it motivated me to create an account on IMDb and tell other people not to go seeing it. I don't know what happened in the mind of the guy who put this through, but it's an awful result: a particularly boring movie, nothing interesting happens, famous actors just saying their words (how did they accept to do it?!), painful and absolutely not funny scenes, in two words: a cinema disaster! I am so deceived for the French cinema after seeing this, don't know when I'll have the courage to go see another one...not so soon I suppose. If going into details, there is an absence of action in the movie that makes it painful to watch, especially in a cinema: I wanted to get out from there and run after 30 minutes! Then, the very special humor the author wants to share is simply not funny: showing us the specific accent of people in the North of France (presented as something indistinguishable), is supposed to be funny, but it is not, especially when is repeated several times over the movie. Eventually, what is somehow funny is people falling down from a chair or having a car accident, oh my god this is so funny, this gives you an idea about the degree of fun of the movie. Then, the story in itself has too many elements that go right and left and at the center and then again at the center right and left: please understand here that there is no such a story in this movie and more importantly, no interesting story. The general theme of mocking the French bourgeoisie of the beginning of the XXth century could have been a good start for an interesting crazy story if the script and the making of the movie were achieved. Instead, despite some brilliant actor play (Luchini) the result is bullshit.
SO plain and negative on any aspect. The 'Elite' look and feel stupid while the 'workers class' are depicted as ultimately atrocious and ugly human flesh eaters. It's supposed to be a charge creating laughter.In the theater where I saw it, in Paris, NOT a single smile except for one in the last minute. its definitively boring and so biased that i am ashamed it was selected for Cannes. And as to aggravate the picture the only likable character of the movie is an ambiguous boy/girl illustrating the 'genre' quarrel France that has been nurturing recently.STAY AWAY definitively> Don't EVEN DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE
