L'homme fidèle

Second movie as a director for Louis Garrell, and (as in Two Friends) he pays tribute to the cinema that made him the director (and actor) he is today. The only problem is (for me) the conclusion of his movies, always quickly solving the good intuition of the start. His love for love triangles and ironic ways to talk about love disasters is a signature, and I wish he will be able to end a movie the way he knows how to start them.

I love so much frenh movies, but this one is not good bored, too much short and nothing new, I do not know what is the iea with this movie, bad, very bad

On the face of it, this is just a simple romantic comedy. The three leading characters all engage in a bit of swapping and sharing and somehow you just know that's not going to be much of a recipe for success! . The writing has all the depth of a puddle and there isn't much unpredictable for us here. It does, however, have something about it - there is a dynamic between them and the plot is oddly believable in a mischievous sort of way. It makes for a perfectly watchable hour and a quarter, and leaves you afterwards thinking if perhaps you could suggest your partner were to go live with someone else who fancies them.... Perhaps not!

Wow, this was bad. it was marketed as a"feminist take on the rom-com' but coming from Louis Garrel who displayed his deep misogyny with his signing onto a petition calling for the release of director Roman Polanski after his arrest in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl -- I doubt the he has the sensibilities for any "feminist take."

If course feminism in French film is more than an oximoron anyway. The feminism in this is having Johhny Depp's teenage daughter playing a liberated character chasing a near 40 year old man. ok. Yeah.

I felt this could have been one of harvey wienstiens films!

The film is a french rom-com that sometimes hints at being some kind if neo-noir, but none of the build up is ever well payed. It has some interesting choices, but it's cinematography is dull. The characters have a lot of hateful characteristics but you end up kind of understanding their point of view, maybe even liking them a little bit. There are a lot of questions made by the film thatyou could argue at never getting an answer. It's not bad, it's not great, it's okay, you can whatch it if you really like french movies
