Review of Delicacy

Delicacy (2011)
6/10
cute, sweet but not thrilling
14 October 2012
This is a lovely, cute French romcom with gentle humour, tenderness and ... well, delicacy. Audrey Tatou is always lovely to watch - a talented beautiful actress, who plays emotive very well. This story gives her scope as she is mixed up, grieving and in a bit of a state. Francois Damiens was for me the highlight of the film, his humour and sweetness, and mobile features were a comedic delight! Overall, however, the film was missing something - passion, or some sort of flow. The jumps in the narrative were clever, but the Oscar for this film goes to the cinematographer; artful, beautiful and clever shooting. Overall an attractive, sweet film. Recommend, if you are okay with subtitles.
