About
You may like this if you enjoy French character dramas about personal wake-up calls and recovery, in the vein of Alice and the Mayor; Not for you if you dislike familiar redemption arcs or unsympathetic leads.
Pros: clear setup; language-loss premise; life priorities theme | Cons: clichéd story arc; shallow sincerity; hard to sympathize
