What France does for the film industry worldwide is what American directors should do in creating memorable characters, story lines, and plots without all the special effects. This film directed by Agnes Jaou who also played the voice teacher, Sylvia Millet, who is married to a third time novelist is quite a work of art not only as a female director but also as a supporting actress. The actor who plays Etienne Cassard, the famous acclaimed French novelist, also deserves praise for his performance as the complicated, selfish, father and husband to a young bride, Karina. His daughter, Lolita, wants to be a classic singer more in the style of Rene Fleming than Britney Spears. She sings opera and can hit the high notes. She is more alike her father than different. She has a low self-esteem, plump, and lacks the self-confidence that she needs to become a successful singer. She is the connection who brings Sylvia's husband, Pierre to her father who can help him rise in the writing field. The script is solid, believable, and near perfect as well as the acting performances here as well, Marilou Berry is fantastic as Lolita Cassard as is the supporting cast of characters.
