This was a film where adults had to come to terms with the mortality of a parent but it is really so much more than that. This is another example of why it is so important to watch films made in other countries - they aren't bound to a specific way of telling a story. Roger Ebert said it best: The actors all find the correct notes. It is a French film, and so they are allowed to be adult and intelligent. They are not the creatures of a screenplay that hurries them along. The film is not about what will happen. It is about them. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com and facebook IHateBadMovies
