kjlive Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 I saw that film in Dublin and it is BRILLIANT.It was an unprecedented success in France, where it continually sold out cinemas for months and became something of a contemporary French cultural icon....at least that's how they described it in the news over there.Absolutely worth seeing. kjlive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saigray Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Sorry to diss on the love of your life, mugz, but I just saw this last night and thought it was WAY SAPPY....and not in an enlightening, interesting sort of way. Content-wise, it was not bad, totally enjoyable, but nothing special, and a little too drawn out, dragging badly towards the end. All the little quirkiness that was meant to be symbolic and significant felt contrived and trite to me. Visually it was very beautiful, and she is adorable, but after a while I just kept wishing it had more too it. I thought the best parts by far, were when she was a child, and then it just meandered from there.Just my 2 1/2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
