Waste of time, 27 July 2008
3/10
Author: Bonulo from Denmark

I saw this odd film with a group of friends. And we were all, from a very early point in the film, wondering how this movie ever succeeded in getting funds. I'm quite sure that mms. Tautou is the answer to that riddle, and nothing else. The film has some good scenes, and some good acting (Tautou, needless to say, is dazzling as always), but in general you never acquire real sympathy for any of the characters. The characters act weird, their lines are weird and the story is told in a weird way. Watch it, if you must, only for mms. Tautou. I have wasted money (thankfully not a lot though) and time on it, and hope that my unforeseen disappointment may help to keep others from a similar experience..
