If I ever have to torture someone, I’ll use this. |
So much beauty and quiet empathy. Heartwarming and heartbreaking. A gem. |
A story that's not an easy sell. Eastwood somehow manages to make this relatively sweet and carefree. The cast do the rest. |
As straightforward and formulaic as they come. And sometimes that's exactly what you want. |
Not my favourite Mazursky. The story is a little too mushy, yet you can't help being drawn to the band of eccentrics at its centre. |
I'm not sure the payoff is worth it, but it's a singular look into grief and loss. Vicky Krieps is impressive and the film would definitely be inferior without her. |
A story of paths not taken. It's a unique blend of genres and incomplete ideas that mostly works and, even when it doesn't, remains captivating thanks to the fantastic performances and atmosphere. |
A less interesting film selection than the first one but, yet again, worth it for the odd story or anecdote. |
This film can't figure out if it wants to be heartwarming or nasty. It's amusing enough, it just contains more misses than hits. |
A minor entry in Dupontel's filmography. Keeps to his usual themes of skewering official instances and the intersection of different social strata. It's entertaining and has a short runtime so doesn't outlive its welcome. |
