Oui, mais...

This movie is a very nice diving in human psyche. Starting with a love story between two teenagers, it widen its scope to the adults and the roles that we all play. It's a story about love and freedom, trust and sex. It put a lot of emphasis on respect, how not, for the girl, to become a simple mean of satisfaction. The teenagers characters and the psychiatrist are profound. The parents may appear like a cartoon. Maybe it was necessary in order to focus more on the three heroes. I enjoyed very much this movie, light and profound. There is a good rhythm, no endless and windy dialogs like we can find in numerous french movies. The humor is frequent, in light touches.

"Oui, mais..." mirrors the emotion of "American Beauty" but at the same is full of laughs. The film is about a teen that sees a psych to analyze her relationships (with her parents and her boyfriend). The film's two youngest actors, Emilie Dequenne (Eglantine) and Cyrille Thouvenin (Sebastien), really pull you into the story and have great on-screen chemistry. I first saw the film at the Virginia Commonwealth University French Film Festival in Richmond, VA and wanted to purchase it. Being able to buy the DVD or VHS of "Oui, mais..." in the US (instead paying a fortune to have it shipped from France) would be wonderful.

A fascinating, wonderfully-acted drama about therapy and relationships. This is the best movie I've seen about any kind of therapy, and I really love it! Emilie Dequenne, one my favorite actresses, is excellent!

I just had a wonderful time watching this film...this is one of my favorite films!

This movie is really great and was suggested to my by a reference in a book. I was amazed by the beginning and way it explains you the story. You have part which are the story that this teenager is living, and part which are the explanation of the psychologist.

You have different games in it : 1) the psi is speaking to you and gives explanations to you about the games played by the person

2) but he also speaks with his client

3) you have also moment where regarding the option you take the same part of the movie is played again.

Really a pedagogic movie and fantastic examples of different concepts of psychology, people games !

In a world of hatred and violence, "Oui, mais..." is a relief of humor, wit and tenderness. Emilie Dequenne is terrific. Gérard Jugnot pulls it out in a very difficult role. It has a big "food for thought" side but it's also food for your heart. Check it out !
