Flashback

If you like some comedy and history with your culture this is it. Physical humour, great characters, great paced, fast talking... I had to regularly pause while watching to check I was understanding the banter correctly.

I thought it was a fresh take on Napoleon Bonaparte also.

Charlie, an unlikeable self centred lawyer takes a long time to be humbled and shaken from her arrogant, narrow views. For the first 20mins she thinks she's on some kind of drug trip as she faces a historical setting where women were punished for stepping outside of the confines of parent, cook, cleaner and wife. She continues to confront history and in at least a couple of cases, the incredibly slow pace that the French law moves at.

French women were the last of all developed countries to gain the right to vote.

Lots of great moments. It had me laughing out loud.

I need to rewatch it to check the hate reviews... maybe the subtitles were just really bad for them?

Thoroughly enjoyed this witty and entertaining movie.

It probably helps to know a bit about French history, but definitely not a prerequisite. Who knew the death of. Pierre Curie could be so funny?

Because it provokes thought while educating and entertaining. No cgi, no car chases. Everything the right wing and the Trumpits hate. This one won't make the Fox movies list.

This was a great movie. It's been on my watch list for a while. Finally I had the concentration to watch some subtitle movies. The actress is also the writer.

The writer puts herself in some fun and some historically interesting scenarios. It starts off with a character who is kind of repugnant but she is funny. She's also biased because of her family history and doesn't know it until she goes back in time. She gets taught gets taught a lesson on history and on equality. I learned a lot about French history too. More than I knew going in.

They even set it up for a sequel. And the issues they depict are really important and relevant today. Especially where I live a country where we all are supposed to equal and free but everybody is not equal and everyone is not free. As of right now there are some states that are trying taking control of women's bodies.

RATED 8/10 Language: French Source: Amazon Prime RECOMMENDED

Full and full fun, if you know the French history and the characters, you will enjoy more. I was laughing like anything throughout the movie. The way they take on history is so fun to watch, the fantasy angle is very well suited for the main character.

I am wondering "is it possible to make movie like this in India"... Just relax about your leaders and enjoy the fun...
