Um Homem Fiel

Louis Garrel's lightweight drama initially seems like a vanity project for its writer, director and star. Nine years on from a brutal break-up, his endearingly ruffled Abel finds himself in a love triangle with the widowed Marianne (Garrel's real-life spouse Laetitia Casta) and LilyRose Depp's obsessive Eve. But skipping spryly between romantic comedy, reflective character piece and gentle farce, it surprises by putting its two women firmly in charge, leaving its assumed lead as little more than their bemused plaything. At just 75 minutes, it breezes by, though Casta's wily turn lingers beyond the credits.

On the face of it, this is just a simple romantic comedy. The three leading characters all engage in a bit of swapping and sharing and somehow you just know that's not going to be much of a recipe for success! . The writing has all the depth of a puddle and there isn't much unpredictable for us here. It does, however, have something about it - there is a dynamic between them and the plot is oddly believable in a mischievous sort of way. It makes for a perfectly watchable hour and a quarter, and leaves you afterwards thinking if perhaps you could suggest your partner were to go live with someone else who fancies them.... Perhaps not!

First time for me to watch a 70 mins full movie but it turned out great. This and the fast pacing of the scenes were enough to show the life of Abel. Louis did a great job acting and directing. Also big fan of Lily-rose Depp.

I love so much frenh movies, but this one is not good bored, too much short and nothing new, I do not know what is the iea with this movie, bad, very bad

Wow, this was bad. it was marketed as a"feminist take on the rom-com' but coming from Louis Garrel who displayed his deep misogyny with his signing onto a petition calling for the release of director Roman Polanski after his arrest in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl -- I doubt the he has the sensibilities for any "feminist take."

If course feminism in French film is more than an oximoron anyway. The feminism in this is having Johhny Depp's teenage daughter playing a liberated character chasing a near 40 year old man. ok. Yeah.

I felt this could have been one of harvey wienstiens films!
