Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas
2006 Drama
Review
Je vais bien, ne t’en fais pas
is one of those films that resembles what is laughing called nouvelle
cuisine. It has all the right ingredients, is well-prepared and
is presented in an appetising manner. However, once it has been
digested, it somehow manages to be even less satisfying than a wafer
biscuit and leaves you with an uncontrollable urge to raid the
larder. Technically, it is hard to fault the film. Philippe Lioret’s direction is meticulous (perhaps too meticulous) and the performances from his cast are beyond reproach. Yet the film just doesn’t quite amount to anything of substance. It’s hard to see beyond the plot contrivances and the unconvincing aspects of the story, implying that the main failing of this film is its script. The film has its strengths but it does feel insubstantial, lacking the emotional force that could have made it a great piece of drama. © filmsdefrance.com 2009 Write a review for this film...
