With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone in the mood for a love story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to An Officer and a Gentleman or Cabaret.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
