    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Ma Belle, My Beauty' is acclaimed for its nuanced depiction of polyamorous relationships and complex character dynamics. The South of France setting is praised for its stunning cinematography and immersive atmosphere. Performances by Idella Johnson and Sivan Noam Shimon are lauded for authenticity and depth. The soundtrack enhances the sensory experience, though some find the story uninteresting or characters unlikable. The film's calm narration and strong photography are highlighted, with a few noting it occasionally feels like a tourist advertisement.

    La France profonde...

    That is a phrase that denotes the existence of deep, and profoundly "French" aspects of the culture of French provincial towns and of French village life, which withstand the "dominant ideologies" and the "state approved narratives" of multiculturalism (i.e. Anti-identitarianism) and progressivism (i.e. Anti-traditionalism).

    "La France profonde" -- not unlike the rest of France -- is irreparably poisoned and on its death bed. For decades now the spirit of Frenchness itself is being deformed by the relentless intravenous infusion of vile and particularly malignant cultural pathogens.

    Let the French ethnic body's decaying corpse serves us all other Europeans as a reminder and a warning what awaits us if we allow it.

    This is what I took from this movie... Sadness for a once glorious country's utter downfall.

    Really enjoyed it.

    I want to add that there was a sex scene with partial nudity a little over half way through that lasted probably 30 seconds or so.

    Easy to skip.

    The movie is cute and fun and had a really beautiful setting and I would definitely watch it again.

    Good exploration of poly relationship

    The French location. The actors, and the music are all beautiful. The real reason to see the film is to appreciate the complexity of a poly relationship that lasts for awhile but eventually ends due to one partner being unable to share the other. This is unfortunately the fate of many poly relationships.

    I am fortunate to be in a successful happy poly relationship lasting almost 28 years so I know that they can work but most people just can't handle the intensity and cannot accept the boundaries. This is a good film to see if you are contemplating getting involved in a poly relationship.

    Good

    The best thing about this film is its atmosphere rather than its plot. It's calm, soothing, summery and delivers beautiful vibes but has a poor uninteresting story. Storytelling is very good though. Performances are good as well.

    Divert my focus

    Did I watch a movie or just enjoy the scenery? Didn't go Europe for 3 years this make me recall the footsteps when I travel, this part makes me rate up a bit for all the beautiful landscape from my memory. In some level, I admire the filmography more than the story. The story is not bad I need to emphasis but seems many similar lesbian and complex relationships been watched before.
