A Natureza do Amor

Wrongly rated! This is in fact an erotic movie.

Please be aware if you accidentally go see this movie with your son/daughter.

I didn't understand why it is considered "Comedy". In the scenes where they try to do it, it is absolutely awkward! (in a really bad way)

Besides that, is sex, sex, rough sex, and more sex.

Don't get me wrong - I love sex, but I don't like to be tricked... If I want to see an erotic movie, I search for one and see it.

Sometimes resembling like a bad version of Emmanuelle, with a poor plot, this was one of the worst movies I've seen for a long time...

Story very "forgettable", turning this movie a real waste of time.

Romantic comedies usually aren't my favorite genre but filmmaker Monia Chokri creates a simple, sweet and fun romantic movie with strong performances, interesting camerawork, atmosphere, and style.

Throughout, the narrative is the typical romantic comedy setting with interesting themes of social class, sexuality, exploration and connection but Chokri's direction, writing and approach to the narrative works as it's clear the movie doesn't take itself fully seriously and there are some interesting and creative choices to explore the characters and setting. The characters are interesting to explore while at times some of the developments and dialogue moments between them felt a bit too forced and left to be desired.

The performances are pretty good with each actor giving wonderful chemistry and moments together. All in all, while it's not something grand or amazing, it's a good fun romantic comedy movie with a good energy. French Canadian cinema is oftentimes not discussed much and it deserves to be discussed more.

In order for a film like this to work, one must try to convincingly portray academia and intelligence. These were just vapid, incredibly pretenious characters. It's so unbelievably and unconvincingly far from what I imagine to be the filmmakers objective, it's sadly laughable.

Maybe when trying to construct a narrative that works, incorporate some research into actual intelligence. Of course it helps if you have some on hand yourself if attempting such narrative. None to be found. Imposters at best, not even achieving that, at worst.

Even the love story fails miserable, no chemistry, no storyline and quite unconvincing from the start.

Who would care for even a second about this narcissistic losers? Really poor filmmaking. The French do it again. So few noteworthy films.

Wow. I enjoyed every second of the movie. Gorgeous cinematography, amazing acting & chemistry, original, touching, funny, beautiful.

Since I'm originally from Montreal (Quebec), I deeply felt a connection with the way the movie was approached. It felt so familiar to me and every character was someone I know in my daily life. I was so connected to the story and the atmosphere.

The subjects of the movie like social classes and feminine sexuality are also rarely shown in a movie the way it was shown in this. It was not pretentious at all, it was just meant to exist on the big screen. The shots were so original and creative....

I am also shocked to learn that this movie is not the one representing the Canada at the Oscars 2024.....shocking!

The last time I was mindblown with a French Canadian movie was when Mommy by Xavier Dolan came out.

I highly recommend!

Loved that film! An authentic journey into Quebec culture.

Acting is great, pictures are magnificent, but the thing that got me hooked was the amount of great moments of discomfort and chaos. Made me uncomfortable but in a way I enjoyed.

*** Dont believe the bad reviews***

First, it is not a romantic comedy. While comedy is present, it is pretty dark and I would describe it more as a drama, as well as a love dilemma.

Also, I saw reviews saying it is very much based on stereotypes. While a part of that might be true, you have to remember it's still a movie so it has to be a bit polarizing. But, as quebecois that lived both in Montreal and the suburbs/coutryside, I could relate to every situation in the film and I have to say, it was very accurate.

Loved the ending too.

9/10.
