About

You’ll like this if you enjoy immersive, relationship-driven French romance with emotional intensity and provocative, sometimes funny tone; Not for you if you want tightly paced character depth or a story that doesn’t become sentimental, and if you prefer lighter fare like Love Songs or Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo.

Pros: tender romance; strong acting; immersive 1990s setting | Cons: too long; shallow character depth; sentiment overwhelms
