My Zoé

A very interesting study of a mothers love.

Julie Delpy is amazing, an auteur indeed!

I'm not sure about the science aspect, but it's a beautiful fantasy.

Isabelle (Julie Delpy) is in a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband James (Richard Armitage) over their daughter Zoe. She's a scientist trying to regain her career after sidelining it for the sake of her family. She has a boyfriend and James is still clinging. Thomas Fischer (Daniel Brühl) is an IVF doctor and Laura (Gemma Arterton) is his wife.

This is basically Marriage Story for the first half. When the tragedy happens, it turns into something like Creator which is an odd 80's sci-fi rom-com. The first half is compelling despite the infuriating James. The transition to the second half is daring but doesn't always work. It's trying to be challenging but it somehow pulls its punches. Julie Delpy is at the top of the game. I wouldn't mind staying with the Marriage Story. More could be done with the second half but it's also limited by the available time. Nevertheless, it is interesting.

This story is engaging from start to finish. The first half is good, then the second half is even better because of a very unexpected turn. Well done!

The movie absoluetly desires a better final... you can make it great again 😁

The movie was ok but why would they pick someone in their 50's as the mom of such a you t child?
