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?

The character is a pain in the ass and you wanna punch her constantly, but the idea is really good. Especially with current events in the US for example, more woman need to see this.

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...

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?

Absolutely loved this little french film, once I found the online subtitles, it made it even better. It was funny, pertinent and informative and I watched it twice. An absolute gem.
