Le Cou de la girafe
2004 Comedy / Drama
Review
Yet another a barrel load of syrupy sentimentality from a first-time
film director involving a child and her grandfather doing highly
improbable, and slightly disturbing, things together. There’s a
lot of talent on both sides of the camera (but very little in the
script department), yet this is largely wasted since the end result is
a soggy mush of unconvincing triple strength saccharine that would be
hilarious if it wasn’t so painful to watch.
