8/10
Lighthearted and charming
20 May 2021
Blind Date is a lighthearted and charming movie directed (and starred in) by Clovis Cornillac. Because of the film's wit and lovable characters, it won the Audience Award at the COLCOA French Film Festival as well as an award for Best First Film in the 2015 Cabourg Film Festival. These awards were well deserved by this film.

This film takes place in Paris, France. Machine, a young, shy pianist who is practicing for an upcoming audition, moves into a new apartment. This apartment has paper thin walls, which soon become a problem as you can hear any and everything on either side of the wall. Her neighbor? Machine, an introverted and very quiet man who makes noises in efforts to scare new tenants away from the apartment in effort to remain neighborless. Once Machine discovers that Machin is the culprit of all of the noise, she creates a new "schedule" for their noise. Although it's difficult (and somewhat of an annoyance to one another), the noise that Machine makes, her piano playing, is soon criticized by Machin. He says that she plays without any emotion and is lacking passion. Soon, their relationship develops and, well, you will just have to see what becomes of it for yourself.

While primarily emphasizing chasing your dreams and never giving up, I recommend this great movie to any rom-com fans, or anyone who desires a fun and lighthearted film to watch. It will certainly lift your spirits and cause a laugh or two while viewing.
