Les goûts et les couleurs

I'm Jewish and gay, and I loved this film, and so did my husband, who also happens to be Jewish and gay :) It depicts reality as it is. It depicts the prejudices, the racism and the homophobia we see around us. And it also shows how people can choose their own way of life. Love from Israel.

If you want to come out - you better be sure. On the other hand, I always wonder why it has to be a binary choice. For those who are "different" that is. Maybe there is love for more than just one gender there - bisexual is not something to be ashamed of or that should be kept under the covers (no pun intended).

That all being said, there is more than just human drama here. Relationships and everything in between is up for grabs (again no pun intended). It's never easy to admit or come out. At least for the time being - stigma and all that.

Nice story and well acted too.

I was reserved at first, for I'm not into LGBT movies, but ended up really enjoying it. Superb acting, sharp humor and the story line kept me engaged through the end. No cliches.

I think this is a nice little movie to watch without too many expectations: personally I found it a lot better than the average American comedy. I found interesting that, apart from the plot that is a bit surreal, they depicted the life of average European people in an European environment. A French Jewish family, a French-senegalese chef that is divided between an emancipated life and career and his family that wants to marry him to a Senegalese girl. I think that not everything has to be black or white, religion and sexuality for example can have a lot of shades. It's easier to see them in black or white but not everything can be described with a color or with a shade that already exists. Anyway, the plot is still a bit surreal, but it's a movie! A comedy! Come on! I think it's really enjoyable and Jean-Christophe Folly is superb

This movie is in the style of a French farce. That being said, there will be lots of steroetypes made within. It thinks it's a progressive love story, but it's really just offensive to: Lesbians, Bisexuals, Jews, Muslims, People of color and Gay men. I could go into detail, but then I'd spoil it for you. Why do that when at the end of this movie you'll just be as disappointed as I was.

Two stars because it looked and sounded good. Kudos to the cinematographer and the score composer.
