I loved this film: funny, sexy, sad, frustrating, erotic, beautiful, touching, memorable, cool, but above all, so French. Having watched Love, and the American series You Me Her - which I got fed up with and never finished watching, I approached this with some trepidation and expected disappointment. The whole boy lives with girl who has a female lover who is also a friend to them both but then gets involved with the boy as well could've resulted in a complete mess but is handled so deftly by this young director. I will definitely look out his other films. The actors are great: good looking, sexy, and convincing. The young lawyer reminded me of Emannuelle Beart: she went from pretty and demure to sexy vixen to hard as steel. A star in the making. Loved it! And any film that uses the music if Richard Hawley gets my vote any day!

I wish I'd read some of these reviews before watching this very frustrating movie. The acting was wooden, the script/plot toe-curlingly poor. I've seen better acting in porn films. This travesty of a film would have redeemed itself if there had been some real sex and straight forward nudity. I can only imagine that, by not showing all, the director thought it was elevating the film to that of a proper romance, but he would have needed a decent plot and some proper acting to do that. They should've gone all out for a proper X-rated full-frontal romp and then it would have at least had something to redeem itself with, because I should imagine that most people coming to this film would be wanting to see that.
