Les goûts et les couleurs

Simone (sarah stern) wants to come out to her family, but its not easy. The english dubbing is pretty bad... it's not only way over the top, but it's not close to what they are actually saying en francais. At one point, the boss says' You're late... it's 9:15... but the captions said 9:20." they couldn't even get that right. And they do that twice! Simone's brother has already come out to the family, so what's the big @@##%% deal? Simone seems to be extra close to the chef at their favorite restaurant, so what's up with that? Will it interfere with her relationship ? Need some explanation. Will she ever come out to her family? Pretty silly, but entertaining. Directed by Myriam Aziza. According to imdb, filming took place in 2016, but it wasn't released anywhere until 2018. Must be a story there. This whole premise is kind of silly now... most of europe has no problem with the gays and gay marriage at this point.

Contrary to the negative reviews, I found this terrific, sweet and moving, full of twists and confusions fit for Shakespeare. I could not stop laughing. Yes there are some improbable moments, but the charge of stereotypes seems unfair, I would rather say realistic. There were two less than ideal points - I thought Claire's initial reaction was a bit overwrought, and the ending was not very plausible. Agreed I am only LBTGQ sympathetic, but the dynamics seemed real enough and the ups and downs poignant.

This movie is in the style of a French farce. That being said, there will be lots of steroetypes made within. It thinks it's a progressive love story, but it's really just offensive to: Lesbians, Bisexuals, Jews, Muslims, People of color and Gay men. I could go into detail, but then I'd spoil it for you. Why do that when at the end of this movie you'll just be as disappointed as I was.

Two stars because it looked and sounded good. Kudos to the cinematographer and the score composer.

Oh everyone's a critic, not bad. Good movie on complicated relationships whether because of religion or sexual preference.

I think this is a nice little movie to watch without too many expectations: personally I found it a lot better than the average American comedy. I found interesting that, apart from the plot that is a bit surreal, they depicted the life of average European people in an European environment. A French Jewish family, a French-senegalese chef that is divided between an emancipated life and career and his family that wants to marry him to a Senegalese girl. I think that not everything has to be black or white, religion and sexuality for example can have a lot of shades. It's easier to see them in black or white but not everything can be described with a color or with a shade that already exists. Anyway, the plot is still a bit surreal, but it's a movie! A comedy! Come on! I think it's really enjoyable and Jean-Christophe Folly is superb
