One of the characters wears a Rolex Daytona Ceramic in the 1990s, but the watch wasn’t released until 2016. I was so excited to watch this film directed by Gilles Lellouch, starring Adele Exarchopoulos and Francois Civil, who I really appreciated. It has all the makings of a French Bockbuster, but they missed it.
After a while, we wondered if we had entered the wrong screening room
The first part is far too long to set the scene for their young lives and love. Also, we start to feel frustrated that we haven’t seen Adele and Francois after an hour. If this first loooong part was meant to be, the film should have been in 2 releases.
The adaptation of the script was quite weak in my opinion
Because I think that even though it was too long, it was good. The second part of their adult life is not believable in many ways and not exciting enough. Also, I didn’t feel any connection to this love story of reunion.
In the end, it was too easy
It’s a shame because I feel like we missed the opportunity to see a great film here. Well done to Mallory Wanecque as Jackie and Malik Frikah as a young Clotaire who gave a great performance.
