Flashback

It's not all bad. The premise is intriguing. The dialogue...especially the lines given to the lead (Caroline Vigneaux) is witty. And speaking Ms. Vigneaux, she's hilarious. A gifted physical comedian who delivers visually as well as verbally. She's a joy to watch. And the pacing is good too...right up to the point where the viewer starts says 'OK, I get it. I got it 20 minutes ago. Now, wrap this up.' Only the movie doesn't. It keeps going on and on and on. Neither I nor my wife could make it to the end. We agreed that we couldn't take another minute.

What went wrong? Maybe it was the overtness of it all. Maybe the fact that after the first 20 minutes of the film, it had said all it had to say. Or maybe it was just the lack of subtlety. We both wanted to like the film. But too much is always too much.

This was a great movie. It's been on my watch list for a while. Finally I had the concentration to watch some subtitle movies. The actress is also the writer.

The writer puts herself in some fun and some historically interesting scenarios. It starts off with a character who is kind of repugnant but she is funny. She's also biased because of her family history and doesn't know it until she goes back in time. She gets taught gets taught a lesson on history and on equality. I learned a lot about French history too. More than I knew going in.

They even set it up for a sequel. And the issues they depict are really important and relevant today. Especially where I live a country where we all are supposed to equal and free but everybody is not equal and everyone is not free. As of right now there are some states that are trying taking control of women's bodies.

Because it provokes thought while educating and entertaining. No cgi, no car chases. Everything the right wing and the Trumpits hate. This one won't make the Fox movies list.

RATED 8/10 Language: French Source: Amazon Prime RECOMMENDED

Full and full fun, if you know the French history and the characters, you will enjoy more. I was laughing like anything throughout the movie. The way they take on history is so fun to watch, the fantasy angle is very well suited for the main character.

I am wondering "is it possible to make movie like this in India"... Just relax about your leaders and enjoy the fun...

The character is a pain in the ass and you wanna punch her constantly, but the idea is really good. Especially with current events in the US for example, more woman need to see this.
