GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

nando1301-1 I wonder who decided to name this film "Delicacy" in English... Since the French title "La Délicatesse" means literally "Gentleness" and the story is all about gentleness in the relationship between the main characters.A very French film, a gentle film about gentleness and love. Good writing (the film was deservedly nominated for a César award), good acting, catchy soundtrack. I enjoyed it very much, but it's not your typical romantic comedy... I would say that it is not a comedy at all, but rather it is a deep and delicate drama about people who have been hurt in the past and how they need to recover gently, slowly, in order to be able to love again.

Kookyburra This film achieves something that a heck of a lot of films, particularly romantic comedies, get wrong. It captures that feeling of two people messily entering into a relationship. The initial joys and awkwardness. The moments of fright when it all seems overwhelming. The calm reflective times and the stormy moments of doubt.After a shaky start, the film blossoms into a refreshingly cliché free study of a beautiful woman impulsively starting a relationship with a shy, ungainly, but good natured man. It's his goodness that comes through. He wins out over the slick womanisers through sheer innocent charm and a desire to do good.A heart warming film about the need to love fearlessly and without following the crowd and of taking happiness where it's found.

Dan Edwards Audrey Tautou is my favorite actress and on that basis I went to watch the film. Oh my goodness, even she couldn't save this movie. Marlon Brando once famously said, that the actor always gets the blame for a bad movie but it is usually the script.The story is diabolical...it is terrible and stinks. I try to stay awake watching the movie and there is no story. It is very boring. The highlight is watching the Eiffel Tower and that is about it.There is some French comedy and parody. My partner who fell asleep the intelligent one, mentions the Swede watching President Obama on television. I miss it. The other I picked up on is corporate culture ... Swedes are using like the Germans obsessive compulsive; precise and on time, is half an hour early to the meeting.I came out of the movie yawning. What a waste of time that was. I'm grizzly that I wasted my money and time watching this movie. Incredibly boring. I want my money back!

Tom Gooderson-A'Court Nathalie (Audrey Tautou) is left devastated after the death of her new husband Francois (Pio Marmai) and spends the next three years mourning him, in a daze, floating through life. One day unexpectedly she kisses a new colleague of hers, Markus (Francois Damiens), an unattractive, balding Swede in an act that leaves him perplexed and creates tensions at work.The first half of this film was incredibly dull and bland. I was beginning to regret seeing it until the introduction of Damiens as Markus. He bought a spark to the film and took it from a magnolia tragedy to a sweet and funny romantic comedy. Up until this point it felt like the film was going nowhere. Nathalie had been hit on by her boss in a scene which bought nothing to the film; she had somehow gone from selling programmes at the theatre to having her own office and running some sort of case (which was never explained). Then Damiens arrived and lit up the screen. His character was bumbling and nervous but sweet and kind and it is clear why Nathalie is drawn to him. Their relationship creates many funny scenes as well as some that verge on melancholia.Tautou is fine as Nathalie but she is hardly stretched. She has to play a pretty young widow who looks glum, something her face seems to do naturally. The supporting cast are all fine too and include a Christina Hendricks lookalike who plays a secretary, wears the same outfits as 'Joan' from Mad Men and even has the same pen around her neck! The star of the show though is Francois Damiens who steals the film. He plays the sort of character that you would love to be friends with and you know would always look out for you. He also gives the ordinary man hope by getting together with Audrey Tautou. He also provides most of the film's comic relief.One of the problems with the film is that it suffers with the same musical trouble as Little White Lies. Obviously film makers choose music that conveys a certain mood but here as in the aforementioned film, it is so palpable it verges on being ridiculous. I also have a problem with the dull first act but overall this is a throwaway romantic comedy which features strong central performances and a message that it doesn't matter how someone looks but what matters is what sort of person you are.www.attheback.blogspot.com
