"Just no" movie
I think it is worth asking Mrs. Anna Gavalda herself about this film adaptation. I would like to know her opinion.
Unfortunately, the only definition that fits this piece is slurred. Fans of Gavalda who have read the book will criticize him, those who have not read him will shrug their shoulders. What is this story about? In the transcription on the screen, pressing and piercing, sensual and such a frank novel by Gavalda turned into cold oatmeal, became flat and bland.
Literally everything was lost, it is not worth listing every scene, even one of the most, in my opinion, delicious and vivid episodes in the kitchen of the restaurant on Christmas Eve was turned into a passing one. Drew a duck on a plate, so what?
and the actors? Poor book Philibert! To begin with, there must be some descriptive similarity! So, in the book he was gangly, with glasses and a mustache. And here? It reminds Zhenya Lukashin of Irony of Fate, a bit modified Not a drop of that charm about which Gavalda herself wrote “french coquetterie”. In the book, he was the center of their small company, Supernatural, which descended from heaven to save those two. Alas..
Camilla is a little better, but too calm. Audrey Totu's eyes are very expressive, but in the book her character was more unbalanced, not so life-affirming, all the time doubting, and this is not visible. It's a pity. Only Frank was more or less successful, but he was also painfully measured.
Maybe it sounds rude, but it seemed that the book was chewed, spat out, and it turned out such a dull color like a movie. To put a tick: yes, we filmed this famous Gavalda. Have done your job. I hope her last novel la consolante is not subjected to such a treatment. It would be better if he was not filmed at all. It is better to just read the book - and enjoy.
