About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, character-driven comedy-drama about clashing personalities, money stress, and family baggage, with a bittersweet tone similar to Quartet or Elsa & Fred; Not for you if you expect big laughs or a fast plot.
Pros: strong central performances; bittersweet humor; Paris setting charm | Cons: slow, talky stretches; turns overly sentimental; rushed, tidy wrap-up
