This first feature film by Nine Antico can be watched. A slice of the life of a thirty-something seeking her marks in her professional and sentimental life. I did not understand the point of the film being in digital black and white lacking in contrast and not adding much to the story or to the aesthetic, apart from that nothing to complain about.

Follow your dream, is an old movie cliché. It's almost the epitome of the American cliché. But I've watched this charming film and it said almost nothing but "follow your dream" and I still didn't care it's such an old cliché. Because it's rings true, it's genuine and heartfelt. This has a lot to do with the directing of Nine Antico, the acting mostly of Laetitia Dosch who's first class as the actress friend of the lead who's torn between her dream and real life and then there's Sara Forestier. I didn't count her among the acting cast, because she doesn't really act - she is - Sophie Legal - the heroin of this movie. She's charming and warm and funny and in one word irresistible. One can't help but root for her and we'll simply all stay through the film to see if she does get her way because Sara Forestier makes us care.

So, that's about it, not perfect, but very good where it count - where it makes us - the viewers care for the person we see on screen.
