Ma Belle, My Beauty

An intimate look into the uncertainty of a tender, unusual love story developing between social "pressure" and personal changes. The narration is purposely calm, yet very intense, that Hill managed to balance perfectly counting on some great acting and a strong photography. A gorgeous French landscape and an extemporaneousy beautiful soundtrack works as a serendipitous background to the brief period of the protagonists lives captured in the movie. I strongly suggest to watch it!

A fairly charming character study. I'm a bit surprised that I felt this way about it, since none of the characters are particularly likable. Many will consider it slow, as there are no car chases, explosions, or comic book heroes. Maybe that's part of its charm. Lovely photography of really nice scenery in the South of France. The lesbian and polyamory angles will appeal to some, and turn others off. None of the acting hit any false notes, at least for me.

Soft scenes with natural lighting and soulful music.

You get an authentic view of a polyamorous relationship where each character explores what they can and can't be for each other and the balance between their personal lives and their careers.

That is a phrase that denotes the existence of deep, and profoundly "French" aspects of the culture of French provincial towns and of French village life, which withstand the "dominant ideologies" and the "state approved narratives" of multiculturalism (i.e. Anti-identitarianism) and progressivism (i.e. Anti-traditionalism).

"La France profonde" -- not unlike the rest of France -- is irreparably poisoned and on its death bed. For decades now the spirit of Frenchness itself is being deformed by the relentless intravenous infusion of vile and particularly malignant cultural pathogens.

Let the French ethnic body's decaying corpse serves us all other Europeans as a reminder and a warning what awaits us if we allow it.

This is what I took from this movie... Sadness for a once glorious country's utter downfall.

The French location. The actors, and the music are all beautiful. The real reason to see the film is to appreciate the complexity of a poly relationship that lasts for awhile but eventually ends due to one partner being unable to share the other. This is unfortunately the fate of many poly relationships.

I am fortunate to be in a successful happy poly relationship lasting almost 28 years so I know that they can work but most people just can't handle the intensity and cannot accept the boundaries. This is a good film to see if you are contemplating getting involved in a poly relationship.
