A warming story of interwoven lives and the struggle of change when traditions are deeply ingrained. I really enjoyed this film.
The French type of humour is rough and honest which is refreshing. The characters were all very real, with so much relevant backstory to each individual. The dialogue is excellent, showing relationships and giving information without delivering it directly as so many films do. The village feels tangibly isolated and appropriately stuck in old ways. You must see this film!
For a point of reference, and since it will inevitably be compared to The Intouchables, I gave that movie 10/10 because it could not be any better and is one of my favourites of all time. This is a different movie: watch it as such.
