Funny

This film tells the story of a widowed policewoman, who tries to make up for the wrongs that her husband did.

The story is quite crazy and unbelievable in a funny way. It is quite entertaining, and yet makes you question the choices of the policewoman at the same time.

Probably the worst movie I saw in years

The movie is being advertised in France as being "the best comedy of the year 2018" or "you will die laughing". In fact, I only smiled once. The rest of the people in the theater the same... Otherwise the movie is absolutely boring with an awful screenplay and with some scenes that could easily candidate to the worst moments in French Cinematography.

charming

To define it as a comedy can be unfair. In essence, it is a smart film about lies, truth, injustice , love and a beautiful cast telling, in proper manner, a bitter- sweet story, with few good slices of absurd, unrealism, eccentricity. But, obvious, a charming film. In essence, about a boy and his dad. Or, about the option of a man after eight years in prison for save the freedom of a cop.

Often Funny, Never Credible

This movie is a very mixed bag. There are a good number of quite funny bits, and thanks to Audrey Tautou in a supporting role, a couple of genuinely touching moments. But the actions and reactions of the two main characters make absolutely no psychological sense at all, ever. If that doesn't put you off, then by all means see this movie for the many funny gags.

Funny!

I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did. Adèle Haenel should do comedy more often. I really enjoyed her spontaneity and one-liners.

Quotes
Lieutenant Yvonne Santi: In jail? He worked out and learned Corsican songs.

Alternate versions
Some television broadcasts feature an alternate, toned down version of one of the bedtime stories Yvonne tells her son about her father. In the theatrical version, exactly 1 hour into the film, Mariton takes money out of a briefcase, the film then cuts to a close-up of Santi and then back to a close-up of Mariton as he gets shot in the forehead and falls dead as the camera lingers on the blood splatter on the wall. In the alternate television cut, after Mariton takes the money out, the film instead cuts to Santi with his arm raised, shooting Mariton who dies off screen, and then quipping "Fa f'est fait" (a mispronunciation of "that's done" due to his missing tooth) as he brings his gun down.
