User Reviews

So good so touching movie !

Honestly, i'm not fond of french movies BUT this one is so amazingly good !. I laughed, cried, jumped out of my chair - realizing how stereotyped I AM !. Everything and everybody in this movie is simply great!. Tempo, Shooting angles, music are great. Brilliant script, great acting and great directing.
