We now know the French were cooking crack when they submitted this film over Anatomy of A Fall.
This is some of the most cinematic food trapped inside a boring movie. At the one hour mark I felt every minute of this movie. Thankfully I was only one in the theater so I was able to pace around as this movie dragged on one course at a time. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, but never feels like it gets anywhere past the surface. I will gladly forget this movie, just like I do with what I had for dinner most nights.
