Frühstück bei Monsieur Henri

I ask myself time and again... how do the French do this? They have a superb knack for taking a very simple story and turning it, without sentiment, into a beautiful, moving, intelligent and uplifting experience.

This is another such gem. Beautifully acted by all players, a simple story of a girl who always 'fails' is turned into a story about how we all are... just humans who are trying to find our way. And sometimes it takes a stranger to see who we really are. Definitely one for parents who might need to put on their thinking caps.

Highly recommended. Delightful.

Wow! I'm so surprised I didn't discover this one sooner ! I really loved it ! I highly recommend it !! I wasn't bored at all watching it. I'll make you smile and cry at the same time.

I watched like more than 300 movies until now , but never felt the urge to writte a review like in this moment. This movie it s not about like a '3 steps to pursue succes' movie, it s about the pain of struggling that makes u accept the fail in order to grow up succesful. Constance showed everyone that we must suffer before being proud of ourself, her acting was so smooth like it s not a simple role, she just made me feel like she truly accepted the fail by knowing that one day everyting will be fine. Congrats for creating such a strong carachter like Constance , the kindness in her smile while she knew her life it s far from being perfect , the patience she shows in every second it s incredible. The thing is, u never know how life it s gonna surprise you, just let it be, stop pretending everything it s fine when it s not, just take everything as it is and hope for the better.

Noemie Schmidt gets a room in a great apartment in Paris with an old man, Claude Brasseur, Henry, who will allow her to stay without the deposit, if she breaks up his son's marriage. Paul the son is vulnerable. They don't have children. Then Noemie Schmidt plays the piano. Brasseur's wife played the piano before she died. Henry helps Noemie get an audition to the London School of Music.

This was a play before it became a film. I saw some similarities with Carnage. But it still moves quickly and is a fun film to enjoy.

I enjoy this film, but it is not perfect. The emotion is not fully exploited, although the characters did an excellent job in this film. Maybe it is a bit hurry, and there is some added information, but it is not helpful.
