Deux Moi is a nice movie, relatable and pertinent to our times of too much information but little communication, but the story is flat, lukewarm and kind of boring. The characters are girl/boy next door (literally) and we get to know them mainly through their sessions with their shrinks. They are cute, but not interesting or engaging enough. Little happens that will surprise or enthrall the audience, while the movie navigates through its mundane events towards an easily predictable and mildly satisfying end. I watched it because I loved François Civil in Le Chant du Loup and because I love la langue de Molière, but I was somewhat dissapointed with this one.

Good atmosphere and good performance by artists..the two main characters are interesting..

This film is not for people who want action. It's slow paced and detailed. Some scenes are very beautiful and cinematic, something I personally really enjoyed.

In this film we get to see life as it is, it's far away from Hollywood. Poetic and little melancholic, but with a warm heart. Worth a watch.

"Deux Moi" is another remarkable example of contemporary French cinema. This film presents a captivating dual story, featuring two individuals seeking solace in their tumultuous lives, but unable to meet despite their proximity as neighbors. Rémy Pelletier, brilliantly played by François Civil, isolates himself while Mélanie Brunet, played by Ana Girardot, desperately seeks happiness through fleeting encounters. The contrast between their approaches skilfully underlines the complexity of human relationships.

The pace of the film is perfectly suited to the subject matter, with a deliberately slow pace that allows for in-depth exploration of the characters and their emotions. However, although François Civil's interpretation is impeccable, I remain mixed about the acting of Ana Girardot, whose style fails to convince me. Despite this, Civil continues to shine with his nuanced interpretation of a man in the grip of depression, confirming his status as a talented actor in French cinema.

In conclusion, "Deux Moi" is a remarkable film that should not be missed. Its sensitive exploration of themes of isolation and the search for human connection makes it a captivating and deeply moving work. I highly recommend it to all fans of French cinema looking for an enriching cinematic experience.

Remi and Melanie may be perfect for each other. They live in the same building, separated from each other by the thinnest of walls. They shop at the same convenience store and take the same public transport, pass each other on the street, but in a city of millions will these two have a chance to meet?Focusing on how it is to be young and single in the modern Megapolis, and in particular Paris, the city of love, the movie takes on the daily lives' journey, that is as extraordinary as it is simple. The plot is easy to relate to, as so many of us follow the "work-eat-sleep" routine and rarely pay attention to the fact that something is not right with this arrangement, something is missing. Anxiety and depression in the film is seen as a part of the daily battles to be fought and are almost taken for granted. The leads by young stars François Civil and Ana Girardot are believable "girl and boy next door" trying to make their lives work and fight this desperate and lonely feeling underneath it all.

Director Cedric Klapisch specialises in romanticising Paris. Here it is practically a love letter to the city, and partly a guidebook to what it is to be a Parisian. SOMEONE SOMEWHERE may not be for everyone, it is certainly not a romantic comedy, and is slightly uneventful for a movie that runs almost 2 hrs. But the performances are great and the comprehensive script juggles many of the film's important issues with relative ease.

Focusing on what it is to be ready to accept true love than on the love affair itself, the film inspires optimism despite its melancholic nature.
