Review of Blind Date

Blind Date (2015)
9/10
A little, a lot, blindly

Warning: Spoilers
A heart-warming, life affirming, romantic comedy.

It follows the lovely Mélanie Bernier, and Clovis Cornillac.

He's a miserable misanthrope who enjoys his own space, whilst she's a shy pianist.

Forced to 'live together' as their adjoining apartments are separated by 'tissue paper' thin walls.

It's really an updated, more touching version of "Sleepless in Seattle".

The major advantage of the plot is their common passion for music. This brings them closer whilst it also plays with the standard rom-com formula.

The secondary characters are equally funny and drive the comedy along. Lilou Fogli (screenwriter of this film and wife of Clovis) is fantastic in the role of sister Mélanie Bernier, talkative, funny and uninhibited. Philippe Duquesne also plays a gruff whilst endearing friend.

Ultimately it's not a film that you'll think you've seen this all before, it's refreshing, funny and classy.

I'd recommend it!
