Better Late Then Never

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I can't understand how this kind of movie achieves to find money to get done. As usual, it focuses on the dull, boring lives of a bourgeois Parisian family as there can't seem to be other choices for characters, stories or locations in actual french production. In addition, our french cinema seeks now to copy also the worst of American movies with their disgusting blue / orange cinematography! Maybe the producers tried to cash of the new star Melanie Laurent but thus girl seems really cold, sophisticated and thus not very cool. My motivation to watch it was Geraldine but she has a very little part here. However she has her usual cheeky humor. In conclusion, it's totally uninteresting and ugly, so if you don't have the definition of a stinker, i don't know how to write it!

Funny, creative, sentimental, emotional, romantic & more...This film portrays a father and his daughter's story. The father seems to be immature but he's not, the daughter seems to hate his father but she's not. They both are same , they don't express their feelings, their love to each other. Will they ever come to know how much they love each other? You have to watch.Michel Blanc reminds me of Woody Allen, and his characterization too. Mélanie Laurent is beautiful. Great Soundtrack(Even though i don't know much about western music, i enjoyed ), decent photography, great performances. GREAT FILM. DO WATCH.

This is a movie from the heart. Anyone who had a good father unable to openly express his love will see much of their own relationship reflected in the father/daughter dynamic portrayed. Perhaps more common to all, the film is a warm reminder about opening our hearts to those around us. This deeply touching story was well balanced with humor. I wholeheartedly recommend this film.Incidentaly, the soundtrack "Aurora" by A.Cohen made an outstanding contribution to the film's story telling. I notice it was not in the original soundtrack, which leads me to believe the soundtrack had been revised. Much for the better, though. Kudos!!

The French film "Et soudain tout le monde me manque" (2011) was shown in the United States as "The Day I Saw Your Heart." It was co-written and directed by Jennifer Devoldère.This is a movie that is billed as a dramatic comedy, but it just didn't work for me at either level. Mélanie Laurent stars as Justine, the most beautiful and least responsible Xray technician in France. We are supposed to find it adorable when she takes multiple x-rays of a man to whom she's attracted, and then uses the images to produce x-ray art. (There actually is an art form that uses X-rays, but presumably not at the risk of radiation exposure to patients.)"She just broke up with her boyfriend, so she's sleeping on her sister's couch." Maybe the plot needed Justine to have no place to live, but the explanation is not funny or dramatic.Meanwhile, we are supposed to accept the plot device that Justine's father truly loves his children, but never took the time or made the effort to tell them so. Now he hangs out with all of Justine's former boyfriends. He makes a suggestion to his pregnant wife that is truly awful, and that ends up with him sleeping on the couch. (It's a couch-sleeping kind of family.)It's true that the family is Jewish, but I didn't feel that their Jewishness had any bearing on the plot. That's why I was surprised to find the film as part of a Jewish Film Festival. The festival booklet says the movie "charmed our entire screening committee." I guess it just didn't charm me.We saw the film at the Little Theatre in Rochester, as part of the fine Rochester Jewish Film Festival. (OK--we didn't like this one, but most of the movies were great.) It will work well on DVD, if you choose to see it. However, I would suggest that you'd do better with another, much better, French dramatic comedy, Paris-Manhattan (2012), also shown at the RJFF.
