About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like French tragicomic stories about messy friendships, midlife restlessness, and social discomfort, with food and status in the background; Not for you if you want broad laughs or easy romance like Paris-Manhattan.
Pros: sharp awkward humor; strong performances; engaging relationship tension | Cons: uneven laughs; shallow for some; characters hard to like
