L'étudiante et Monsieur Henri

The plot can be a bit tropey, but it is enjoyable nonetheless. It has a few cringe-worthy moments, but they are quickly forgotten as the story progresses, because overall it is a pleasant watch...a story about found families and young people finding their dreams and learning to believe in themselves. I found it uplifting and entertaining enough, not a masterpiece but worth the watch.

I enjoy this film, but it is not perfect. The emotion is not fully exploited, although the characters did an excellent job in this film. Maybe it is a bit hurry, and there is some added information, but it is not helpful.

Wow! I'm so surprised I didn't discover this one sooner ! I really loved it ! I highly recommend it !! I wasn't bored at all watching it. I'll make you smile and cry at the same time.

A young woman coming of age. Finding one's direction in life. A man who has given up on life. A couple trying to preserve theirs. This is a film about relationships, and while considerably predictable is still well-done. From directing to camera work, sound and acting, everything is neatly packaged. It is a fairly basic story but enjoyable to watch. If one does not go in expecting Oscar-winning material and instead simply wishes for a good story, this will work. It is not perfect, but few films are. It achieves what it set out to achieve.

I ask myself time and again... how do the French do this? They have a superb knack for taking a very simple story and turning it, without sentiment, into a beautiful, moving, intelligent and uplifting experience.

This is another such gem. Beautifully acted by all players, a simple story of a girl who always 'fails' is turned into a story about how we all are... just humans who are trying to find our way. And sometimes it takes a stranger to see who we really are. Definitely one for parents who might need to put on their thinking caps.

Highly recommended. Delightful.
