En liberté!

This movie is a very mixed bag. There are a good number of quite funny bits, and thanks to Audrey Tautou in a supporting role, a couple of genuinely touching moments. But the actions and reactions of the two main characters make absolutely no psychological sense at all, ever. If that doesn't put you off, then by all means see this movie for the many funny gags.

Yvonne (Adèle Haenel), a young police inspector, discovers that her husband, Captain Santi (Vincent Elbaz), was not the brave and honest police officer she believed him to be, but a complete fraud. Determined to make amends for the mistakes he made, she crosses paths with Antoine (Pio Marmaï), who was unjustly arrested by Santi and sentenced to eight years. This unexpected and crazy encounter will change both of their lives forever...

Very enjoyable, another excellent French production, that comedy in homeopathic doses but deliciously administered with a different sense of humor, the characters are super captivating, even the supporting characters, like the trio of security guards and the serial killer dismembering the police station, among others... Light on the drama, fun and well orchestrated in the police story, fake romance... And in the end, finally free, both protagonists, in their own way, and without further explanation, free... Lovely...

This film tells the story of a widowed policewoman, who tries to make up for the wrongs that her husband did.

The story is quite crazy and unbelievable in a funny way. It is quite entertaining, and yet makes you question the choices of the policewoman at the same time.

To define it as a comedy can be unfair. In essence, it is a smart film about lies, truth, injustice , love and a beautiful cast telling, in proper manner, a bitter- sweet story, with few good slices of absurd, unrealism, eccentricity. But, obvious, a charming film. In essence, about a boy and his dad. Or, about the option of a man after eight years in prison for save the freedom of a cop.

I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did. Adèle Haenel should do comedy more often. I really enjoyed her spontaneity and one-liners.
