Aurore

This is an engaging, delightful light comedy for women about women, no wonder so many reviewers didn't like it - misogyny is so tedious - it's not about, nor for men. The only shame is that there aren't more films like this and that this curio, (as it is so rare for a film to have a menopausal woman as it's subject) hasn't been lauded by the PC lip service payers, as there is a genuine need for this type of film for women. At the same time, this comedy is light and sunny, a reassuring treat for every woman who faces 'the change' eventually. When it hit my mother, I mean hit, it can devastate, she said,'no-one told me it would be like this, one minute i'm beautiful & men won't leave me alone, next they want to run me over & am growing hair in places I didn't think possible. No-one tells you!' Humorous & charming & very enjoyable, this tale needs to be told & it's been told here well. Direction, acting, everything about this gem is extremely well done and the result is it feels fresh, filled with wry humour, enlivening and real. Those that have called it a bore etc probably don't like women that much either. Highly recommended to all women, it's about you and your life.

This is a small movie, lazily made, without any noticeable art direction, lumpy script, jarring editing, no lead talent chemistry and very predictable outcome. This is the sort of movie you have to see so that you'll really appreciate the good ones.

There are some very good performances, but I felt that the story lacked oomph.

I loved the movie - I could relate to so much of its content. I imagine, like myself, women will rate this film much more highly than men - it's very female-centred - which is an excellent thing in itself. Take no notice of the lower ratings - I've given it 5 out of 5 to encourage the female audience.

Such a beautiful feel good film. It's a small story with a big heart. The performance of Aurora lights up the screen. Small moments exploring motherhood and identity as we grow older. It's a very subtle film which may explain some of the other negative reviews. This film explores female menopause which may not strike a chord with some people. Enjoy it.
