Fun French Dramady

rgolan

If you like french movies, you will like this one.
It has a smart and funny dialog, mainly by the actor/director Yvan Attal.
His wife (in the movie and in real life), actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, is a bit overly dramatic at the beginning but plays well the rest of the movie.
The story in not plausible (a dog that settle at their home and likes to hump guys), but it did not bother me.
The story is not original - a writer that has a writer's block and writes about his current situation; still, it interesting, how each chapter is about one of their kids or other family issues the writer experiences.
The movie is a bit too long, feels a bit slow in the middle, but then, gets back on track.
Good acting; good cinematography; good direction = an enjoyable movie.

score 8/10
