It earned strong reviews (85% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who need a good giggle and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Low effort, high reward: just press play.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 17 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Teachers in a rural school, happy couple Fiona and Dom have a common passion: Latin Dancing. One night, after a glorious dance competition, they have a car accident and see their lives turn upside down.
