La merveilleuse visite

I hoped this movie wouldn't live up to my negative expectations, but am sorry to report it did.

There's not much point listing all my objections, but I will mention the jarring effect, in virtually every scene, of inconsistencies such as the angel's being able to speak fluent French but not knowing what money is.

This defect plagues every fantasy of this sort that I've read or seen dramatized, and is enough to ruin the experience for me--I guess I'm just of too logical a turn of mind to accept something so silly.

Maybe I should stick to documentaries.
