This is just another "euro-film" that is marketed as deep + intellectual but is simply put an example of bad filmmaking.
The acting is just horrible, the overemphasizing of emotions should belong to the stage. The pacing was off + kept the film from being somewhat interesting. Instead of placing the revelation of the abortion at the end it wouldve been better to have it in the middle so the focus could ve been on the falling out of the characters - while the first part couldve been the love story. There were soo many unnecessary scenes also. And the characters were just sooo stereotypical with their pretentious artsy-ness. Only ppl who are in those circles could think that they re interesting and should be on the screen. So thats another missed opportunity to show characters who could show depth - because those arty types clearly couldnt!
The film missed the opporunity to use stilistic elements to turn the interesting topic into a captivating piece of art. Why not use campy humor, why not make it film noir-ish, why not be creative? It was soso bland and so below average of what a relationship movie should be.
The only redeeming quality was Adèle Exarchopoulos who was the only one with screen presence + who has undeniable talent - opposite to the vain male actors who were just blabbing their platitudes.
A really bad movie. The quality in film making seems to have completely vanished over the last years. It sad.
