Should be Nominated for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars


First of all, this a great acquisition for BroadGreen Pictures, whoever pushed for the U.S distribution rights has great taste and enjoys taking risk.

I love love love this movie, not sure why people are whining about the end, but I thought the end was perfect. American cinema tends to have happy, and closed-endings, but French cinema doesn't necessarily follow the "Hollywood" formula. Everything about this film was flawless..casting, acting, directing, sound design..may only critic would be that the on-screen chemistry between Omar Sy and Charlotte Gainsbourg seemed forced.
