Freestyle (2022)
8/10
This is one of the sweetest tales
30 September 2022
A man in his 20s and a woman in her 40s possibly 50s and both are struggling with grief in effect

And it's symptomises in a very different way in each case

At one point the young man cuts out a hole in the roof of the car which will come in very handy right at the end of the film; but we do not know that and we suppose he does not either

We trudge through some of the most beautiful parts of western France in a yellow possibly mustard-coloured Volvo which looks glorious in those landscapes

The whole time the mood is bittersweet; with a couple of ancillary characters but really it is between this young man and this middle-aged woman a sort of dance of mother and son and it is very touching and very human; a very very sweet tale indeed ps i would have chosen "Freefall" as a title in ENG not "Freestyle"
