Good comedy with a surprise ending
1 March 2020
Well, it's basically a simple romantic comedy (which the French are very good at) but it's got some not-so-funny themes - following the premise of a innocent but framed man spending 8 years in jail - which it manages to take a bit more serious than you'd expect from a pure comedy. Consequently, the ending is not quite what you'd expect - while most of the movie has some rather absurd scenes, the ending feels very grounded and shows respect to all of the characters. I liked that (it would have been easy for the screenwriters to create some miraculous happy ending but this one feels more satisfying).
