Ma Belle, My Beauty

Southern France, southern meanderings. Yes. Or should I say Oui? Give this one a try and you are gonna fall in love with it. It's got all the lovey, dreamy, swishy kind of things that you're looking for.

An intimate look into the uncertainty of a tender, unusual love story developing between social "pressure" and personal changes. The narration is purposely calm, yet very intense, that Hill managed to balance perfectly counting on some great acting and a strong photography. A gorgeous French landscape and an extemporaneousy beautiful soundtrack works as a serendipitous background to the brief period of the protagonists lives captured in the movie. I strongly suggest to watch it!

The French location. The actors, and the music are all beautiful. The real reason to see the film is to appreciate the complexity of a poly relationship that lasts for awhile but eventually ends due to one partner being unable to share the other. This is unfortunately the fate of many poly relationships.

I am fortunate to be in a successful happy poly relationship lasting almost 28 years so I know that they can work but most people just can't handle the intensity and cannot accept the boundaries. This is a good film to see if you are contemplating getting involved in a poly relationship.

Did I watch a movie or just enjoy the scenery? Didn't go Europe for 3 years this make me recall the footsteps when I travel, this part makes me rate up a bit for all the beautiful landscape from my memory. In some level, I admire the filmography more than the story. The story is not bad I need to emphasis but seems many similar lesbian and complex relationships been watched before.

A fairly charming character study. I'm a bit surprised that I felt this way about it, since none of the characters are particularly likable. Many will consider it slow, as there are no car chases, explosions, or comic book heroes. Maybe that's part of its charm. Lovely photography of really nice scenery in the South of France. The lesbian and polyamory angles will appeal to some, and turn others off. None of the acting hit any false notes, at least for me.
