Review by rugbysharks

This was a film I didn't at first think would be very interesting, but that was just based on a fleeting glimpse of the basic plot. Boy was I wrong. It turned out to be a sublime, at times gut wrenching and tear-jerking film about an elderly, spirited woman who recalls her life to a world weary (and at first, indifferent) taxi driver, superbly played by Danny Boon. French film-makers in particular seem to have a knack of turning a simple story into a compelling, inspiring drama so full of heart and warmth. Christian Carion has created 90 minutes of magical storytelling whilst taking us on a journey through modern Paris. I didn't want this taxi ride to ever end!
