| One of the best movies of the year, not only foreign | As a lover of American cinema, I have seldom seen so much bad acting and writing in one film |
|---|---|
| Trying to build a climax our fireman hero resorts to arson to save his love, It would have been a perfect turkey if they could have written in a scene with the dialog "everything going to be alright now" Maybe they did, at this point I actually left - so I would not know | The premise of a fireman going on a murder spree to fight for the love of his life, whom he met in witness protection program, is so dumb its painful to watch |
Therefore, Marianne must observe her model by day to paint her portrait at night.
15| On an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, a female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman | Compared to the mindless dialogues contained in most French language courses, this is a truly entertaining step up |
|---|---|
| When his new identity becomes compromised Jeremy is forced to take an unexpected course of action in order to get his life back and save the lives of those he loves | The acting is superb and would put Merlant or even Haenel instead of Charlize Theron for example |
A fireman takes an unexpected course of action when a man whom he's been ordered to testify against, after being held up at a local convenience store, threatens him.
| For starters, I can't possibly understand the lack of Oscar nominations for this movie | Unfortunately there is nothing he can do to save this movie |
|---|---|
| The beautiful costumes, set design and cinematography in this historical drama make up for the fairly predictable plot and uninspired acting | After a devastating fire in 1897 Paris, three women find their lives upended by betrayal, deception, and romantic turmoil |
Apart from an obviously decent budget, high production values - there is nothing here worthy of a box of popcorn.
