I can kinda see why some ppl like this, it can certainly be accused of being charming and quirky. IMO tho, it can also be accused of being overlong and tedious; not so bad that i cut it short and wandered off, but relieved that it only cost 99p to rent. Also, while not impossible to read the subs, it was challenging at times - certainly on a phone. One for just the sappy romantics probably.

I've often wanted to watch this but I've never gotten round to it. This was a ridiculously cute and random story . Very much like wes Anderson's movies..uplifting and makes you feel gooey :-) like a bag of marshmallows left on a radiator

One of my favourite films of all time. Along with "Au revoir, les enfants", which is another great film, they are must-sees if you're looking for a good french film! 10/10
