Review
Comment je me suis dispute... (ma vie sexuelle) photo
This engaging romantic drama takes a wry look at mid-life crisis and features an exceptional cast. The film is perhaps over-long and could have benefited from some judicious pruning, but its distinctive style and convincing characterisation makes it one of director Arnaud Desplechin’s most thoughtful and appealing films to date.
