Mon inconnue

It was love at first sight, He and She met, dated, married and experienced successes and failures together. But nothing lasts forever. After ten years, their relationship is at a low point and slowly but surely coming to an inevitable end. Or is it?! He gets a second chance to win back the love of his life, even if he doesn't have the best initial conditions to do so. What struck me about this film was the premise and the execution, which mostly stayed away from clichés. I found both main characters, played by François Civil and Joséphine Japy, likeable, and the friend played by Benjamin Lavernhe provided a proper dose of entertainment. Coupled with a likeable musical score, nice locations from the coast and a few captivating moments, the result is a solidly made film that mixes romance, humor and drama in an effective way.

If I were strictly into romance, I would probably give four stars. I also expected humor, though, and the kind that the film offered was too French for me. The premise wasn’t bad, it's just a shame that the creators didn't make more effort to get more out of it. They had enough time for that in my opinion. (21.10.2019)

"I've been dreaming of one thing for years. That my great love loves me again. I've been writing to her every month for three years. Stupid right?" - "Why didn't you send them?" - "Because she asked me to leave her alone. Meet that is my last proof of love.." +++ Beautiful piano music kicks off a humorous, romantic, fairytale love story that will surely delight many a sensitive soul. At least I had a pleasant dreamy time while watching the movie. +++ "To love you was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me." (80%) (08.09.2022)
