About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a melancholic French romance about longing, duty, and blurred lines between dreams and reality, in the vein of Gemma Bovery or Lovers; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or a consistently likable lead.
Pros: emotional romantic pull; strong lead performance; lush period atmosphere | Cons: slow, subtle pacing; hard-to-like heroine; timeline feels vague
