This film does not waste time to get into the story and felt a bit rushed but it didn't matter as you do get to know the characters and their motivations in the end. I would say the film is still a bit choppy here and there but it had a lot of emotion and genuinely touching scenes.

By the time the last scene of the film reaches crescendo I could not hold tears. This film is a reminder to us all to remember to show people you care. We all feel that.

On the last note, I can't remember when I saw a French film in the cinema. What a treat. It's very very refreshing to see actors looking like real people with lines on their faces and the odd misaligned teeth. Bravo!

I only knew the premise of this film going in and felt perplexed as I exited the cinema. It took me a while to start processing what kind of story I have just been told. You can take many things from this. I will spare you any analysis but this film oddly lulled me into this hidden world with grey blue tones, anxious people, sumptuous decor and numerous paintings to, well, frame the story.

This was my second musical I have ever seen in the cinema and the first being Dancer In The Dark I think I have found pieces that accompany each other pretty well. I want to see this film again sometime and maybe do some rabbit hole research first so that I can spot the things I definitely missed first time.

Enjoy. It's a lovely film.
