Amour & Turbulences

I'm really sorry that this movie is actually available on Netflix for the entire world to see. I'm French and ashamed. The movie embodies the absolute worst you can do in terms of romantic comedy. It is beyond surprising that this project was actually financed. Ludivine Sagnier that I usually love can't carry the entire movie by herself. The dialogues are terrible and might be better translated. Bedos can't really act here and seems to be poorly directed. The characters are shallow and it's very difficult to get attached to their fate. We don't believe in any of them. Or any emotions. The director also actor, acting as Bedos' best friend is the absolute worse. I couldn't finish the movie and I've seen episodes of young and the restless with more pleasure than this.

Where to start from? Everything that could go wrong in a romantic comedy - very poorly written dialogues, no funny situation, total lack of surprise in the scenario, no believable characters, no chemistry between the 2 main actors - went wrong. This is so bad it is almost funny to watch. Dialogues want to be witty but are so unatural. The main male character is almost unbearable and the actor (Bedos) is painful to watch (especially in the many scenes Bedos is half naked for no reason at all - maybe he wanted to show off a bit, and forgot he is no Matthew McConaughey).

The only thing of interest is that this is one of the first movies with Jonathan Cohen (playing a nurse and the best buddy of the main character in the movie), who became in the 2010s one of the best French comic actor of his generation. He is really good in all the scenes he appeared in. Thanks to him, the movie gets 1 star.

This movie is actually dubbed in English, which is what you realise, once you see the actors mouth their dialogues. It has nothing to offer except in one scene,when the heroine walks in on the hero, when he is in bed with another woman. And she knows that woman is hiding in the closet !

This is a sweet french love story. i lived the cinematography and the way the film transports you through time throughout the movie. It is a breath of fresh air.

Inportant interview final say is due is on way to appear in it and finds ex- girl friend in Airplane. Turbulence in air brings them to sort out what went wrong in their extremely romantic affair. The plot platform used to un cover the really wonderful story amuses us all through out with may be an expected ending but with reasons. Don't miss. English dub version is also of good quality. We do get a touch of French culture.
