    Long time I haven't laugh so much, in one movie

    "Cherchez la Femme/Some like it veiled" manages, without vulgarity to make laugh on a "highly-risky" thematic which at first you would not think it would be possible to reach such comic effects with so controversial subject, but for me, it worked for me, I laughed heartlily, and found it very nicely done... with the same kind of spirit of Gérard Oury's "Rabbi Jacob". This movie demonstrates a master work from a new woman director : Sou Abadi (she knew very well her subject and how to surfed carefully on the edge of prejudices), with a convincing interpretation of Camelia Jordana and her actor friends ! If you are ready to laugh lightly and sincerely of almost everything, it is worth to watch.

    I had not laugh so much from a movie, since long time, and it felt good. Reminded me some "Ernst Lubitsch" (To be or not to be) or "Jerry Lewis" (The Errand Boy) comedies, where everybody runs after everybody. Makes my laughing time for year 2019 when I had seen it on tv.

    Magnifique :)

    Entertaining, yet serious, a well done comedy with deeper meaning. :)
