i catch this on french tv about 2 month ago and with high hope because it feature jean reno and but i be very disappointed . it a romantic comedy so by definition you expect to forgive some contrived story telling and but in return you expect some kind of narrative sleight of hand to distract you from the mechanic . unlike fast move classic chick flick when harry meet sally and this film be all talk and no action and it move at a snail pace and force you to deliberate over every drawn out narrative twist . jean reno play an uptight and very private celebrity chef who be obsessively clean . co star juliette binoche be a bohemian middle age beautician who live behind a mask of makeup and constantly call her mother and trap in a destructive relationship . the film ask u to believe that because he loan her his phone and try to pass on a message and then meet her unpleasant boyfriend and he will offer to share his hotel room when their flight be cancel due to a strike and that they will both begin to open up emotionally . the performance be so subtle that they barely register and and the inevitability of the rom com structure make wait through the minutia of their developing relationship a challenge rather than a joy .
