Customer Reviews

Well worth watching
An well produced and realistic romantic film about coming out. The actors are very convincing and its easy to relate to them. Well worth watching.

Touche...
Well done...
I just want to add my praise to the other reviews.
This is a very 'genuine' story and a well crafted movie about falling in love and the problem of coming out - realising and admitting who and what you are - in this case in a French, provincial, middle class environment.
The movie even allows you to believe in a happy ending... (I'm a sucker for happy endings!)

The only reason I don't give it 5 stars, is that something must be saved for the truly exceptional.

Beautiful French language film about coming to terms with being gay for everyone
A very difficult film in places - the level of family rejection sometimes is quite terrible and shocking. The difficulties in overcoming this for all concerned is undoubtedly true to life for many families, but the fact this process of understanding and coming to terms with being gay does eventually work out and that there is a very clear feeling of love between the couple from the beginning to the end of the film, despite their own tensions (caused by both the self and familial rejection) make this a thoroughly captivating film. The film remains realistic though - people cannot adjust to everything overnight and total understanding and acceptance probably will never happen for many in the family - they'll get used to it but there are compromises to be made in one's dreams and hopes as a parent and one's expectations of straight family members if you are gay. The two attractive leads are excellent in their roles. This is a typically wonderfully made and acted French film, with beautiful photography, a real sense of atmosphere and place and a realistic portrayal of human beings and their inter-relations. Highly recommend to all who like great French cinema and moving and thoughtful depictions of gay life.
