I rarely review movies mainly because of lack of time. But this time I really feel the urge to do it and encourage this french jam, it will definitely be keeping you entartained and go laughter after laughter. Possibly the best comedy I am seeing this year. The topics are indeed very serious - divorce, solitude, the cyberisation of human contacts, and most of all, loss of data privacy. My favorite film at Berlinale.

Well played by the main actress, reflecting the absurdity of her life and the problems she creates for herself. Set in a tiny, seemingly boring suburb, the life of these digital-problem-struck characters is not so boring after all. Overall, a decent comedy entertainment piece, but not really deserving a Silver Bear.

Love Blanche Gardin as a standup she has a face that expresses extreme cheekiness. Here too she is excellent

The film mocks our digital lives as they have become more and more Ubuesque and the actors behind the scenes more dodgy manipulating when not downright criminal

It is set in Les Hauts-de-France (59 Nord 62 Pas-de-Calais) just below Belgium the most deprived part of Macronia ; a place which has been blighted with factory closures since Neo-liberalism reared its horrendous head. By 2020 it is a wasteland. If you want a US shortcut think Detroit

It has the feel of an Indie US movie quirky zany etc

So an ace place to set this essay on dysfunctional living in the nascent 21st century. Denis Podalydès is also awesome here. There are vignettes here which will make you chuckle for days on end

PS there is a cameo appearance by writer Michel Houellebecq

The script of the film seems to have been created by a four-year-old boy. The solutions that the protagonists of the film come up with really seem like the thought of a four-year-old kid. Unlikely situations. Bad jokes. Filler scenes and filler dialogues abound in the film that have nothing to do with the main plot and make the film go extremely slow. The actors make acceptable performances considering the very bad script that they have been given. I can't believe how many people give this movie more than five points. Please don't waste your time.

Seen at Berlinale 2020. The film looks from a ironic perspective at the worst social media can deliver: bullying, blackmail and .. well.. bad ratings. The cast does a great job at keeping a smile on your face throughout the film and the stories of the characters intermingle to culimnate in a declaration of war against tech Giants.
