Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

LateNightBrain After my first experience with this film I really didn't know how to feel about it. I laughed a lot, but felt guilty because a lot of what I was laughing at was quite disturbing, and would make the average viewer appalled. With that said, this film is not for everyone, but boy, after multiple viewings, it never ceases to make my eyes water, and belly ache.A rather large and overweight 40-something gay man living in the French countryside has an affair with a teenage girl, only to be pursued by the town authorities and the girl's belligerent father. They run away together, evading everyone however they can. The most lasting visual I have from this film is the overweight gay man spending much of his time running through the countryside half naked. And just because he's overweight doesn't mean he can't pull it. This man can run.I won't tell much more. Get this film if you can. Like I said, it's strange, it's disturbing, but if you have a sense-of-humor that journeys to the left of center, I'm sure you'll get something out of it.Great cast. Well directed. Beautifully shot. Ludovic Berthillot and Hafsia Herzi shine in the two lead parts.

Tom Dooley This is a 'film' from French director Alain Guiraudie who got a lot of attention for 'Stranger by the lake'. In this film from 2009 we have a 43 year old tractor salesman Armand - who is gay and likes to cruise the local beauty spot for 'older men' falling in love with a 16 year old girl.Her father does not like it and neither do the police. So they go on the 'run'. This basically means panting about the woods in various states of undress then stopping for a bit of al fresco rutting.Now there are some very well observed conversations about love and relationships and the whole point of life. They are by far the most appealing aspects to this movie. Where it falls down is in the sheer lack of credibility of the plot. The idea that any police force this side of North Korea has the power or manpower to behave the way they do here is ludicrous. The love story is also badly realised and the running away scenes are not even pretentious enough to be laughable.This is a film where you could watch segments on fast forward and you would not miss a jot. I found it massively underwhelming and a bit insulting to the intelligence to be honest. This is one I should not have bothered with as I felt a lot of the problems with the aforementioned 'Stranger by the lake' are prevalent here too. I will not be beating a path to watch any more of Mousier Guiraudie's future efforts. But if you can suspend belief for an hour and a half and enjoy 'bear' types in the woods then this may be worth a punt.

ys_to_ny When I first read about the movie, I thought I might be bored, but I was wrong. The movie is very funny, from beginning to end. The humor is sometimes slight, sometimes obvious, sometimes verbal, sometimes visual. The plot is original and rich. The hero is a gay man in his forties, leading stagnant life, not necessarily fulfilling, but not miserable either. Several things happen that cause him to doubt himself, and develop midlife crisis. He's attempting to make some drastic changes in his life, and goes though a comic journey of finding himself. Although the hero is gay, the story conveys a message that is universally appealing, for gay and straight viewers. Very enjoyable movie!

chatbada This is one on the best movies I have seen last year, and was lucky to see once again lately on DVD. It is so fresh, celebrating what is best in life: love, friends, freedom, nature, sensuality, and in an original way, with people you rarely see on movies, I mean elderly farmer, whom are very authentic and funny... Also the director really succeed in creating a world and atmosphere of its own, with incredible character, and succeed every time in surprising you. You also feel sometimes like its a kind of dream, and that the movie beyond its realistic kind is somehow almost fantastic. Of course, if you are the kind of people whom only like classic character, handsome boys and sexy girls, you will be very disappointed. But if you like original and somehow crazy movies, that are sincere and simple, you will definitely like this one!
