Énorme

But at the end it s too much. The First half hour of the film is phemomenal, especially the editing is sharp, after that the film becomes more typical French, during the pregnancy, with over the top slapstick of the father who wants so badly a baby. It could have been a masterwork, but clichés about pregnancy are becoming to big and the film too long. I saw the première of the film in the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Still some moments I won ' t forget which is Good for a comedy

I was expecting a funny film about pregnancy and difficulties of parenthood, instead I watched 100 minutes of stupidity. Characters, especially Fred were so irritating and colourless. It never made me laugh and for the first time I couldn't empatise any of the characters. The only good thing about this film was the cute baby at the end.

The film's desire to break up is interesting, with a provocative approach that turns an abusive relationship into an element of comedy. The husband's love is manipulative and oppressive here, but at no time justified. He is an asshole, but she is passive. It is one of the most disturbing portraits of a relationship. And, as the story progresses, the comedy gets blacker, darker, until the last part in which he remains in the shadow, while she lights up.

The director introduced the film virtually from France complaining her politicized audience failed 2laff.

Here in NYC via FIAF WE GOT THE JOKE and the laughter here was Enorme beaucoup!!!

Pleez find a usa distributor. That big belly deserves the Big Screen ... 💘

Claire and Frederic (Marina Foïs and Jonathan Cohen) make up a happy, functioning, childless marriage. She is an internationally famous but introverted classical music pianist and he is her charismatic manager and assistant and they travel the world with a busy concert schedule. But an incident in which Frederic participates will alter the agreements on which their marriage is based.

Enormous is a great comedy by Sophie Letourneur that upsets the roles and priorities assigned to men and women in relation to pregnancy, motherhood, fatherhood and professional life without ever falling into acrimony or caricature, doing it with a lot of carelessness, touches of delirium and a documentary record at times.

Cohen is a very funny comedian; his character can necessarily be infuriating and he is too used to making all the decisions in the couple. Claire (the versatile Marina Foïs is the writer of Cantet's El atelier, a completely different role) stoically copes with her unwanted pregnancy, which at the moment takes disturbing turns.

Enormous could be seen, in the treatment of its topics and with the forcefulness that comedy sometimes gives, as a more successful counterpart to Pieces Of A Woman and culminates in a final segment with a treatment rarely seen on these themes and absolutely moving.
