Ratings and reviews

I love this movie. It's a love story set across two generations. It makes you want to believe in reincarnation. And behind it all is the haunting tune of Cafe de Flore. A must if you like French-language movies.

Brilliantly done. Acting amazing and a lovely story.

I loved this film, Vanessa is captivating
